"after years of desiging and producing stitch-and-glue touring kayak kits, john lockwood now offers a canoe for the paddler/builder. the finished product draws admiring stares from passersby, and it handles well on the water, too.. I have the stitch and glue version of the night heron, which i built using the kit from chesapeake light craft. this was the first wood boat that i built, but it went reasonable well (except for the coaming being a nightmare to put together, but in the end it all worked out).. These step by step videos show the stitch-and-glue kayak construction process. all of our boat kits are built using this "stitch-n-glue" construction. the panel shapes differ, but the stitch and glue steps are nearly identical..
Shrike. free plans for shrike, a lightweight sea kayak for stitch and glue construction. the hull lines are traditional west greenland. these classic and beautiful lines, the result of centuries of development, produce a hull that is maneuverable, and suited to rough water.. Cirrus - 17.5' x 22" ( 5,33 x 0,558m) the inspiration to build the ultimate hard chine, stitch and glue kayak was all too easy. to instill a plywood kayak with some of the nice characteristics of its wood strip cousins took some creative tweaking but the effort paid off and i just couldn't be happier with the cruiser that was born.. Homebuilt stitch and glue cirrus kayak from plans by oneoceankayaks.com..
