“Wood and Canvas Kayak Building” offers all the information and plans you need to build two open-water kayaks (simply, easily and economically). George Putz guides even the most inexperienced woodworker through the whole process of building a 17- or 18 1/2-foot sea kayak evolved from an ancuient Inuit design, with plans developed especially for this book by naval architect and canoe and kayak builder Spencer Lincoln. What you end up with is a light, strong, elegant boat built from no more than $ 250,00 worth of readily available materials that will absolutely shame those neon-hued store-bought versions that cost more than a monthly mortgage payment.
