Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Building a Greenland Kayak takes readers step-by-step through the construction process developed by the author and Mystic Seaport boatbuilders to teach their popular kayak-building classes at the Museum. The design is derived directly from surviving Greenland craft, five of which are featured in the appendix. Adapted for the use of simple hand tools and a description of how to make a Greenland-style paddle.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Building a SOF Kayak
The book has all of the esential information to build a Skin On Frame Greenland Kayak. While at times the instructions may be vague, the reader is reminded that the Kayak is built to meet the builders specific needs. The book does not provide a detailed set of blue prints, rather instructions that capture the spirit of buiding a craft modeled after Native water craft in the Greenland style. The book is very detailed and provides many insights from the author regarding Greenland style Kayaks.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Building a Greenland Kayak
This is a book that de-mitified the contruction of a greenland kayak. It is not a must to look for so many kind of specials and expensive wood.
Este libro desmistifica la contrucción the un kayak tradicional. La madera no tiene que ser tan especial y cara.
