The Stillwater Boats plans and boat kits were developed to allow people within a wide range of skill levels to produce a finished boat they can be proud of. Each step is explained with photos or sketches where possible. The main tools needed are a clear mind and patience.
Patience is perhaps the most important tool.
Not because of the time involved, but because it lets you step back when you are about to make a mistake. With a little wood working skill, patience, and the willingness to read and follow directions, you can build a Stillwater Boat . The Stillwater Boats are designed for flatwater recreational use. They are not recommended for whitewater or rough conditions. They are, however recommended for misty morning paddles, picnics under a warm springtime sun, exploring quiet backwaters, and contemplating a fiery sunset as you gently glide back to camp.
