| Description: | Select Guide Rating Strip-building - assembling a pile of thin wood strips into a functional hull - has been a popular canoe-building method for many years. This title helps construct a finished kayak. It presents plans and measurements for three kayaks: Great Auk, Guillemot, and Guillemot Double. Although books on strip building canoes abound, this is among the first to adapt the technique to crafting attractive, functional kayaks. Using high-quality, computer-generated illustrations and photographs to explain key techniques, the book provides complete plans and measurements for three different kayaks: 1) A simple solo craft for beginners, 2) A high-performance solo kayak for intermediate paddlers, and 3) A tandem design for two paddlers. With its easy-to-follow guidance and instructions, The Strip-Built Sea Kayak makes top-notch kayaks accessible to budget-minded paddlers. |
