Can any one help identify an appropriate kayak design and source for plans which could be built by youngsters (boys ages 12 to 17) with adult supervision? I'm involved with a scout troop interested in making several (many) personal sized kayaks to be used during summer camp on calm inland waters. Looking for a design stable enough for a beginning paddler and small enough to permit easy transportation (and storage at his own home). This boat could be strip built or stitch and glue. I've built a couple strippers a few years ago but have been away from building long enough to loose touch with what's happening. S & G built boats would probably work best as I could get the plywood donated to the troop in order to limit the cost and the panels would be easy to duplicate for each of the interested boys in the troop.
