: I built several 12' Canvas covered kayaks from plans that I got out of a
: Popular Mechanics many years ago. My children and I have used the kayaks
: to run the local river in the spring for many years. We have recovered
: these kayaks several times and they are still in usable condition. My 38
: year old son has them and uses them from time to time. I am getting near
: retirement age and am thinking of building another kayak to use on small
: lakes when I go by myself fishing. So I am trying to find the plans again.
: Can anyone help me find these plans?

The plan I think you are refering to is popular among souting groups. As a boy my scouting troop made them and they are still being made to this day.

Here's a couple of links to get you on your way:
