Little Boats
Here are the plans, instructions and kits for dinghys, canoes and kayaks. Most are intended as a first boat building project, usually completion to a good standard should be possible in 40 hours or so. Even so, don't be fooled, the sea kayaks are enormously seaworthy and capable, the Joey is a great yacht tender and the Eureka canoe is a delight on inland waterways. The canoe kit, the kayak kit and the dinghy kit all use the stitch and glue methond of construction for simplicity. All the plans and the kits include detailed step by step instructions. With the kits we do the hard part of cutting out the plywood for you, you then stitch the pieces together using the supplied materials.

Iluka Sea Kayak 5.2m LOA Plan or Kit (not precut)
