Introduction Welcome to our Kayaking Web pages.
Although we are rank novices at it, we enjoy paddling around the local lakes and dream of kayaking in more exotic locations. I have built several of the wood and canvas kayaks discussed on these pages using plans from my good friend Leo Monsen. The plans are easy follow and the kayaks are relatively easy to build, given you have access to basic woodworking tools. The kayak shown on this page can be built in less that 30 hours. Of course the costs vary significanly depending on what you have on hand and the region in which you live.
