a Storer kayak?
Hi Mik.
A friend of mine wants a kayak, she was looking at buying one, so I suggested we build one instead... I told them it will cost less and weight less than any equivalent store bought boat...
Now, I cant seem to find a link to your S&G kayak plans... one seater, plus child seat option up front...
Thanks.

Pygmy and CLC have some nice boats. I did once draw up a kayak. If you want to pick it up from Sydney you can have the prototype free. Lovely to paddle, but there was a funny distortion near the bow.
Built in Gaboon, but in severe need of TLC.
As a plan ... storer is not your man.

G'day Nick,
Have a look here.

Matt also designs lovely boats and the build methodology is way superior to the CLC (and easier).
I am guessing you are chasing a recreational kayak? Have a look at this one. Not really a kayak but could be easily decked and would suit Mum and Daughter nicely.
I am building a couple as we speak.

More complex build?

Hope you don't mind Mik but you said you are not really interested in kayaks.
David Payne also designs a superb range of kayaks but I can't find a link to the plans.Last edited by hairymick; 13th August 2008 at 06:11 PM. Reason: poor spelling

Duckflat handles the Pygmy range. Too, but David's are fine boats too.
Anyone want the prototype of my Sea kayak Design, paddles nicely ... no rudder, seat base is in. Needs TLC.
Is in Sydney near Botany.
Gaboon/Epoxy.

AJ (B.O.A.T.),
Which Chesapeake design is the one with the big open cockpit. That is a nice kayak for flexible seating ... one up, two up and two up with someone light in the middle.

Thats the one I'm thinking about...
I'll call Toll IPEC in the morning to see what it will cost to get the Kayak from Sydney....

Nick has got first dibs, but if he pulls out I would be interested.
If I do not clearly express what I mean, it is either for the reason that having no conversational powers, I cannot express what I mean, or that having no meaning, I do not mean what I fail to express. Which, to the best of my belief, is not the case.
