Tired of struggling with that heavy plastic kayak? Are you looking for a lightweight boat but not willing to take out a second mortgage to buy it? What if I told you that you could build a boat weighting less than 35 lbs for $300 to $500?

In my book will walk you through the process of building your own skin on frame canoe or kayak. I start by addressing the space needed to build a boat and the few tool that are needed. Then I go into detail on laying out the frames from a table of offsets. I show you how to assemble the frame by lashing the members together rather than using epoxy, all about skinning the boat and the rest of the steps up to launching.

Included in the book are offsets for three of my boat designs. The StoneFly canoe which was designed as single person boat with fishing in mind. Curlew, a 15' Sea Kayak aimed at the average paddler. A new design, Poco Barta, a 17' foot sea kayak with a bit more performance potential for the stronger paddler.

All copies bought from our store are autographed by the author.

Jeff has a way of explaining the lofting process in such a fashion that it is easily understandable. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in building skin craft, no matter what type.

This book is exactly what I needed to start my first Kayak. I'm building the Curlew from the plans in the book. The plans are easy to follow, but more importantly, Jeff has done a great job explaining how to avoid common pratfalls during the construction process. Building my boat from the plans in this book has been a fun and rewarding experience!
