Product Description:
From coast to coast, home boatbuilders have turned to Chris Kulczycki for everything they needed to know about making their own kayaks from high-grade marine plywood and epoxy. In The Kayak Shop, a long-time popular standard, Kulczycki provided explicit directions and plans for building three sea kayaks: a high-performance single, an expedition single, and a touring double. The New Kayak Shop details three new Kulczycki designs that are more elegant and even more suitable for today's paddlers. The building instructions are also updated, with new sections on paint and varnish, seat construction, power tools, computer programs for amateur designers, and tips on building multi-chine and round-bottom boats. The New Kayak Shop offers the best, most refined designs and building methods in a single, accessible volume.

This is a very good book for anyone thinking of trying to build thier own kayak. This is a plywood and epoxy stitch and glue type building process. I have not actualy started this project yet but the reading was fun and infomative.

This book did not meet my expectations. It does offer good wood working advice, and basic instructions of how to build a kayak, but the "complete plans" "for three new boats" listed on the cover consist of only three to five pages of tiny drawings for each boat. The author also encourages the reader to "buy the plans, or kit, before building any of the kayaks. If I bought the kits, I would expect the directions to come with them, and I feel a bit hosed for paying $15 bucks for a collection of little ... Read More
