The 6.1m double sea kayak is a compact boat for easier car-topping. It is 650mm wide for good stability, and buoyant at the bow to help it lift over waves. The single chine construction is similar to the Yamba designs. A skeg is fitted for control but a rudder can be fitted if desired. It can be built with a weight of 25kgs. The kayak can be customised to suit individual requirements, for example hatches can be incorporated to carry equipment for long distance touring.
Two plans cover the construction and arrangement and the full size templates for mould stations, stem and stern profiles.
The laser cut kayak kit consists of 4 sheets of plywood with each component accurately cut (except for small tabs to hold the piece in place). To build it, the pieces are broken out, the tabs removed with a small blaok plane and sand paper, then the components are wired together and epoxy glue is applied. (Stitch and glue method).
The laser cut kayak kit comes from our Queensland facility and take about 2 weeks to be produced. The kits include everything you will need to complete a basic boat. A detailed instruction manual is included.
