This is the 3rd time Ive tried to post I keep getting thrown back to the post reply page?

 

Anyway, you can make them easily uyourseklf out of ply stiched together and epoxied. The are very sturdy and seaworthy, I have a mate who paddles his 2 man kayak around the islands and creeks near vancouver. Let me know if you want the web address for the plans,

Hi all,

the reason for the topic was that I had found this

www.heritagekayaks.com/featherang.html and

www.heritagekayaks.com/featherang12.html

 

I sent the link to a friend of ours and he came back with "I can see Leon in one of these with a bag of bread on each end"

 

Seriously though, decent weather, inshore trolling for Bass, getting to those spots where the Mullet think they are safe, Fly fishing, surface fishing for Carp,trolling for Pike....Just a thought

 

The prices seem reasonable and am waiting for a reply for delivery costs to Holland and the UK.

 

Cheers for now.

 

Alan :cool:

Don't remember where i saw them but you can get inflatable ones, duckboards are timber/ply.

Hi Alan, Try Chesapeake Light Craft , Redfish Kayaks , or for a boat with good stability you could try here .

 

I bought the book by Nick Schade and have lofted offsets and cut out the forms to build my own. I would continue if it weren't a space vs time issue. Basically I need more of each.

 

There are many sites out there but I picked up quite a bit of informationhere as well.

 

You know the more I think about it the more I would rather build a skiff or better yet a rowboat.

 

All the best.

 

ps Glad you liked the link to Ascension Is.

I have got a canoe you can have Alan, got it for Chris Jnr but he prefers boats with an engine these days, Have a look when you come over and if it is what you want take it back with you. Bring a roof rack !!
