Self-build kayak

This book was created during the heyday of wooden kayaks and canoes, as well as folding boats or linen-covered vessels. It is intended to serve as a universal guide for constructing such boats even as a layperson without special skills or tools. The author provides detailed descriptions of the entire construction process of wooden small boats, starting with planning and design, through the entire construction execution, and ending with outfitting and rigging. The book can rightly claim to be the proud mother of countless wooden boats today. Anyone who reads it and doesn't have two left hands can soon become the owner of a self-built boat. It includes diagrams, material lists, detailed construction plans, and richly illustrated building instructions.
