Kayak - Personal sites

	George McQuade Thanks George, for all the wise advise, the patience, and your website!
	Benny Curry Construction (photo) journal of a plywood kayak kit (Chesapeake), with a few mods from the original design.
	WA1URB's site Another ham's construction site. Check the photo on the welcome page. This guy made a custom kayak for each family member!
	Robert Kimball Construction journal of a strip-built Guillemot kayak. What a patience... but the result justifies it!
	Sergio Gesto Construction journal for an Eskimo-type (Greenland) kayak, using a wooden skeleton, and covered with cloth. (Spanish site)
	Chris Glad Descriptions of several projects - a canoe, a skin-on-frame kayak, and other goodies. Many pictures and ideas, and I do admire the termination!

Kayak links - Clubs and publications

	www.sol-rio.com.ar General news on aquatic activities, with emphasis on kayaking and canoeing. (The site is prone to saturation - try again!)
	www.kayakdemer.net C'est l'endroit ou l'on partage toute l'information qui a trait au kayak de mer et a l'aventure.

Kayak links - Commercial

	Guillemot Kayaks Don't waste time - visit this site, it's worth your time (though it's not as easy to navigate as the previous one). Lots of info on Nick's boats, and an excellent builder's forum. Nick Schade (picture, with his dog Willy) also edited an excellent book on the construction of kayaks using wood strips. The book contains plans to build three kayaks.
Squeedunk kayaks Mainly a commercial site, with a large number of models on sale. You'll also find, on-line, the details on how to construct the Cormorant-16, using the stitch and glue method, and some indication on constructions using the strip method.
	IPIPSA SRL This is where I buy my fiberglass cloths and epoxy. Excellent atención and advice (Note: in Cordoba, Argentina!)
Interlux pinturas Another commercial site, specialized in naval paint, but also a bottomless source of useful information.
