Kayaks I’ve Built

Strongback

  • A strongback is a plywood box beam that hold stations (plywood forms) on which the strips will be added to form the hull..

Aligning stations

  • Placing test strips keeps the stations straight. These strips are removed once the hull is built up with enough permanent strips.

Adding strips

  • Using carpenter’s hot glue to adhere strips to the stations (forms) keeps a clean surface. Stapes are typically used, but leave small holes that can be undesirable. The extra effort using hot glue keeps the deck and hull clean and attractive!
