Editorial Review:

Product Description:
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.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Just what I needed to start my kajak project
Well structured and written with lots of information to give you the kick start needed to begin making my strip built kayak.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - All you need to know is in this book-
The author truly covers everything you will need to know to build your first kayak. I will reccomend that if you have no previous knowledge of tablesaws or wood working that you should practce cutting with some cheaper wood before you go straight for the cedar- have fun!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - THE MUST HAVE BOOK ON STRIP BUILDING A KAYAK
this is a great book with 3 kayaks tou can build your self. i am building my fourth s&g kayak and dreaming of a strip kayak very soon i will take that leap. with Nick's book i feel in good hands



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Strip-built sea kayak
If you enjoy woodworking and want to build a beautiful, lightweight, high-performance sea-kayak for a fraction of what it would cost to purchase a similar boat, this is the reference for you. The book is well written and illustrated and provides enough detail to complete a project from start to finish. An excellent reference (5*).



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great detailed book
I have learned all the needed information required to build a Strip kayak.

Yet! the kayak plans in the book are not good enough for building a kayak. Purchase plans separately!
