I've been fantasizing about building a stitch & glue kayak for a few years but have no experience in building anything or working with wood (or tools for that matter). i think this one may have given me the nudge i need to go ahead and give it a bash. thanks a lot.. Free stitch and glue kayak plans i've decided to make the plans for my stitch & glue guillemot available to internet users as "share ware". if you end up building this boat please send me a photograph of the results.. About "stitch & glue" plywood the vast majority of stitch and glue kayaks is built from 'marine plywood' which is overall an excellent choice but marine plywood is generally limited to only a few unimpressive looking wood species and predictably, kayaks built entirely from such material do look accordingly..
Stich and glue plans include drawings of the kayak with four scaled views (top-plan, side, front-body plan, and perspective) including a full size front view with an illustration of the strongback assembly.. This is the complete chesapeake light craft kayak building video, filmed in 2001. john harris walks you through every step in the construction of a chesapeake 16 kayak. straightforward to build.
