> Very strong, aluminum and nylon double. 2. "Wood and Canvas Kayak
> Building" by George Putz

> Easy and quick to build for under $250, modified Greenland style. 3.
> "The Strip Built Kayak" by Nick Schade

> The most beautiful of the bunch, plans for 3 kayaks. 4. "The Alutian
> Kayak" by Wolfgang Brink

> Traditionally built Aleutian kayak for under $200.
