Hi,
I'm currentyl involved in a furniture making course in Australia and am hoping to make a kayak as part of that. I'd be most likely to use it on rivers or launching from the beach (but ultimately hoping to make a trip around some small Indonesian islands/along Aus's coast one day). I assume this means I'd be wanting a sea kayak. I had a few questions re the feasibility and details of this venture before I jump in:
How long is this likely to take me? I have a bit of furniture making experience but none in making boats and would be wanting to make a strip kayak.
What sort of size would I be wanting? I'm 5'2" (157cm) and in the 90-100lbs range (don't know exact cnversion). If possible I'd like to make something that I could go camping with.
Cheers in advance
Dot
