Boat Building Forum
Find advice on all aspects of building your own kayak, canoe or any lightweight boats
I am getting ready to build a skin-on-frame kayak for my 12 year old son. I liked the 13 foot Sea Bee single chine on the YostWerks website but he says the offsets for it are not available. I liked the look of the Sea Cruiser but since my son is only 110 lbs that is more boat than he needs. There were offsets for a 15 foot version of the Sea Tour but I think we favor the profile of the Cruiser to the Tour. I am considering using the Sea Tour 15 section spacing with the Sea Cruiser offsets. Am I nuts? More importantly, can I do it?
Are there other sites where I can find free skin-on-frame designs or does anyone know where I can find the Sea Bea single chine offsets?
My son was suppose to take a sailing camp this summer but I suggested a kayak instead so I only have about $250 to get him outfitted (kayak, paddle, PFD, etc.).
