: I have been offered a frame for a skin on frame kayak. The kayak needs a new
: skin. My question is, is this something that someone with very little
: knowledge of kayaks could do? Thanks.
It should be straight forward with help from this board or books from your local library. Just make sure the frame is in good nick before you start afterall the skin just keeps out the water - the frame takes the pressure and maintains the strength and shape!
