In Response To: First time - advice please (John)

: Hi,

: I want to build a kayak, this will be my first. One question I have is
: regarding the plans. I plan to build the Chesapeake 16, I just bought the
: New Kayak Shop by Chris Kulczycki. I also see that I can purchase the
: plans from the company.

: My question, what do I get extra in the plans that I don't get in the book?
: Are the plans full size (just need to trace), or more detailed?

: Thanks,

: John

Hi John my name is also John I saw the Chesapeake in 10 wooden boats you can build.. The book did not have all the information needed to built the boat so i
just got the plans today ..the plans have full size bow and stern and more information than the book that i have.. Lots of luck with your boat keep in touch in the build ...
