Description:
With no plane to build, I gotta do something!! I started building this cedar-strip kayak before I started building the SeaRey. Well, guess it's time to finish. As you can see, clamps are the 'cleco' of the boat-builder!

About 50 pounds with all the hardware.

Hey, it's a new D hull for your SeaRey!<br /><br />If this one turns out to be as elegant as the completed kayak we saw in your basement last summer--well, I wonder how you'll have the heart to get it wet.

Don, hopefully better than the last! Getting them wet ain't the tough part, it's all the stuff you manage to contact on the lake bottom in shallow water that hurts. On the maden voyage of that first boat, a man with his son struck up a conversation while I was getting ready. As a final gesture to assist me, he thought he'd give me a good push start to get going. In the process, he dragged the stern a good length along the rocks near the shore. I thanked him for his help and cringed after they headed on up the path.

Keel Guard! That's what you need, Dennis. A nice big wide strip of that white rubbery Keel Guard running the whole length of the boat will fend off the rocks and protect you from enthusiastic helpers.

A few years ago I built a (too big) 18 foot wood strip canoe using Sitka Spruce. While to heavy for rough portaging, it works well in local spring fed rivers etc. It weighs 75 lbs. and has split rail gunnels of mahogony. I can raise it to my shoulders get it from the car to the water. It is great for long distance weeks long trips, handles beautifully. Room for three with camping gear. I just gave it to my son in Arkansas. He lives on Lake Windsor in Bella Vista. Build took me 3 months, taking my time. It's a beauty.
