Launchings

George Dyson of Bellingham, Washington designed this skin-on-frame kayak. His design called for aluminum tubing for the frames. When Alex Zimmerman built this kayak, he modified the planking to a marine plywood and cedar sandwich.

When he couldn't find exactly the boat he wanted, dave Edinburg designed his own. Using the lines of the International 505 as a starting point, John created the cold-molded CARIBE. He used two layers of 3mm okoume plywood for the planking over plywood frames.

Philip Bolduc spent less than $1000 in the construciton of this Sailfish look-alike. Chosen for its simplicity, he used stitch-and-glue construction with pieces of 1/4" plywood.

Mike Elliott rescued this 35-year-old Chestnut Prospector canoe from a barn and restored it for David and Virginia Moore of Delta, BC, Canada. He used cedar to repair the hull, ash to replace the gunwales, and cherry for the new decks. The seats are hand-woven cane.
