Nicky Bastidas, our exchange student from Ecuador, and I built this Solo Carry, based on Eric Schade’s design. (WoodenBoat 205 and 206), as a complement to a paddle I made her.
This was a kit boat that I customized using many inlays, wood tractor style seat with matching backrest. All exotic wood.
Wood Duck 12 - Built at the WoodenBoat School in August, 2018 and completed in September 2018.
Built from plans by Eric Schade, sold thru Chesapeake Light Craft. Okoume plywood hull, Western red cedar and Northern white cedar deck. My grandson had outgrown his 8′ Duckling (also by Eric Schade) I made for his ninth birthday and chose this for his 15th birthday.
Shearwater 17 made with wooden deck fittings, internal hatch hold downs, and skeg from Superior Kayaks, with custon made wooden control box and lever.
Exactly 2 months from the day I began my kayak building adventure at The WoodenBoat School, I christened and launched my Shearwater Sport on Lake Champlain. What a joy to finally see it in the water!
This is a kit-built stitch and glue kayak from the friendly folks at Chesapeake Light Craft, Annapolis, MD. The hull is constructed of okoume marine plywood. I elected to tackle the hybrid version which incorporates the tri-color cedar strip deck.
