My kayak is a Chesapeake Light Craft “Wood Duck Hybrid.” I started the build on 11/6/14 and completed it on 12/30/14. It took approximately 185 hours to build including time spent making a “Greenland Paddle” and fixing some mistakes that needed to be rectified!

The Duo is a simple to build 3m (10ft) hard chine rowing and sailing dinghy that can be built from just two sheets of 4mm (3/16in) plywood. It is also available as a nesting dinghy, so it can be stored on a cabin roof or even in the back of a car.
