She built it, I mostly supervised (perfect!). Then she made a video, which I just now remembered. It's a wood framed, non-folding, nylon skinned Sea Otter design, complete building instructions for which can be found at yostwerks.com

Paddles good. Doesn't seem to weathercock. Relatively roomy. Rolls OK (needs some thigh bracing). Very lightweight. Took 3-4 weeks to finish, for about $150 in materials.

Anyway, it's an amusing 3 minute video that shows most of the steps involved in building a non-traditional SOF kayak. The other frame in the video is one I was building simultaneously - a Yost Sea Rider, which I lovelovelove (for two hours, max, as there is hardly any wiggle room for the legs).

Enjoy . . . .
