Skin on frame kayaks

(1/3) > >>

Tortoise:
These are really neat and I was wondering if anyone had ever made one of these the traditional way, they were made by the inuits of Greenland and such.

Jimbob:
There was a post on here about one of these a while back, cant remember who posted it though.

mullet:
David Tiller has made a couple of them and was the last post by Alpinbogen?

zdogk9:
I've made forty or so, quite easy to make if you don't start chasing your tail

Alpinbogen:
Forty?!  Yowza, that's alot of builds!  I've built two and have a serious appreciation for the amount of work that must have gone into forty kayaks. 

Tortoise, Some great things about these types of kayaks include that you custom built them to fit/suit exactly what you need, that they are very light, rugged, faster, and cheaper to build than most other kayaks, and of course you get to paddle your own creation.
