BUILD YOUR OWN WOOD DUCK KAYAK
An introduction to building small craft, Chesapeake Light Craft Shop, Annapolis, MD
- JOHN HARRIS — OCTOBER 20–25
Bring your tools and work clothes, and build your very own 10' or 12' Wood Duck recreational kayak, a very cool boat suitable for novice paddlers and fun for those with more experience. With a big cockpit and ample stability, the emphasis is on comfort. But these boats really paddle well, and speed is excellent. You’ll learn some boatbuilding skills as each family assembles their own kayak. Starting with computer-cut marine plywood parts, your kayak will be glued together using epoxy, and sheathed with fiberglass for strength. No special skill or prior experience is necessary; just bring your enthusiasm and your desire to try something new and exciting.
Tuition: $700
Materials: 10'–$799, 12'–$849
Note: This is a six-day course ending Saturday afternoon.
