GUILLEMOT KAYAK

Using Nick Schade's book,  "The Strip-Built Sea Kayak," Perry Risley built this 17' x 21' Guilllemot kayak and paddle. He made both boat and paddle of ash and Western red cedar with white accents of poplar. He mentions that Michael Earle was a tremendous help to him. He launched it in September 2005, and plans to use in the waters around Mount Desert Island and in the lakes near Bethel, ME.
