: Hi,

3/4" Strips (linear ft) 1,100
: 1/2" Strips (linear ft) 250
13mm Strips (linear m) 336
: 20mm Strips (linear m) 77
: That over 400m of wood !!!

Hi Ian,

I think you have the linear meters of 13mm and 20mm strips transposed. If you approximate the kayak as a cylinder 19 feet long and a circumference of about 4 feet, you would need about 64 strips that are 3/4" wide, which gives about about 1200 linear feet of strips, or about 400 meters. Remember, the strips are only about 6mm thick (1/4 inch), so it isn't as bad as it 1st appears. You also probably have a 10-15% allownace for waste in that calculation.

Good luck, and check my math, as I did this in my head without a calculator.
