NOTHING HIDDEN
A while ago I purchased Nick Schade’s book The Strip-Built Sea Kayak. From it I built his Guillemont. I also liked the look of the Great Auk but liked the speed and ease of ply construction stitch and glue.I drew up the forms and used these to get the general shape. All went very well. I found some 2.5 mm ply $5 per half sheet 1200 mm x 600 mm. This ply comes from Asia between boxes of food ??Finished the whole project for about $50. Yes I did have some marine varnish left over from my last build. I am very pleased with the final weight at 12.1 kg. All we need to do now is carry it across the road and get it wet.
