A year or so ago, Ray's website had much the same information, but also promised a book would be forthcoming on building your own kayak out of the types of composites he uses. I had been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to add to my library, but it looks like he dropped the idea. Sorrow.

There is the Walbridge manual, but it was written before vacuum bagging became common, I think.

Anybody know of another source that would discuss vacuum bagging/composites/boatbuilding? I have a few that talk a lot about composite technology and a little about vacuum bagging, but mostly in the context of airplane and kit car construction.
