Wooden kayak

Here we have two beautiful little kayaks designed for just about everyone to enjoy on the water. With big cockpits and ample stability, the emphasis is on comfort. But these boats really paddle well! Speed is excellent: you can really cover the miles in a day, while tracking is solid in stiff crosswinds.

A development of the original Guillemot line, the Night Heron family of kayaks are the result of Nick Schade's ventures into rougher paddling conditions. Although the beauty of the Night Heron shape has received attention outside of the kayak world, it is really on the water that the success of the design becomes most evident. These boats are fun to paddle.

They bent exotic hardwoods to mimic waves and ripples and “guide the eyes of the viewer through a vibrant path of beautiful colors and intricate forms.”

Hi there. Im glad to jojn this page. Regards to all builders.

The Siskiwit Bay is all-around fast mid-sized British-style touring kayak. This solid boat suits a medium to heavy paddler looking for good initial stability and with increased flare above the waterline lots of secondary stability. As the water gets rougher, this kayak feels more stable. It's a fast design slightly more efficient than most British kayaks in its class. When built with a Layback Lounge, it's an easy roller.
