: I am considering building my first wood kayak. I live in Washington state.
: There is a kayak kit manufacturer called pygmy boats here in western
: Washington. There price is good and there boats look good in the add. Does
: anyone have any experience with them or there boats? I suppose like many
: other non carpenters the strip method is a bit intimadating. I really like
: the way they look, but I don't have anyone to help so I stand to make a
: ton of mistakes. Some of you folks that have been where I am might have
: alot of good input for my research. Any advice or suggestions would be
: greatly appreciated.
I am varnishing my beautiful coho and should finish it by the end of june if time allows.I have woodworking experience,but had no fiberglass experience.but the kit goes together perfectly if you follow the instructions to the "t".I thought i knew better than the folks at pygmy and tried to do some of the steps my own way.Dont. having never built a boat,i only called pygmy 2 times for help.It's a great kit. kevin
