: I am planning on building a kayak this winter (perhaps the Guillemot or Great
: Auk), and the only place I have to work on it is in my basement. We have
: no garage and the boss (aka my wife) says the main floor living room is
: out of the question. My basement windows are rather long, and the opening
: is only 17" high.

: What is the total depth of the average kayak, including hull, deck, cockpit
: combings and everything, totally assembled? Would it be able to fit out my
: window once completed?

no problem, few yaks are higher than 13.5 inches. maybe some bows come up a bit but if you thread it out upside down, probably no total section is above this figure.

in the worst, worst worst case you could do the seaming outside (of the 2 halves) so only 3/4 of that ht for the hull say 10 in or less.
