Project Information
I built this kayak for my grand daughter.
I built this kayak using Douglas fir for the frame and Okoume marine plywood for the sides bottom and deck, The outside of the plywood has been laminated with 6 oz fiberglass and epoxy on sides and bottom. The deck is laminated with 4 oz fiberglass and epoxy.
It is painted with VC Epoxy on the bottom and Rustoleum Marine topside paint for the sides, deck and cockpit.
The mast is made from Douglas Fir using a Birds Mouth Glue up with thickened epoxy, thickened with Silica Thickener. It was turned on a homemade lathe. The sail was purchased from Duckworks supply.
The kayak is a Jeff Spira design Willamette River.
The drop in sail rig is designed by Micheal Storer.
The rudder was my own design.
I hope my grand daughter will keep this kayak and enjoy it for the rest of her life.
