> could help me find some free designs. thanks.Nick has a set of stitch and glue plans on this site at: http://www.guillemot-kayaks.com/Building/Stitch&Glue/StitchAndGlue.html
There are some other free plans at: http://www.personal.kent.edu/~mgarmon/
You might want to look at this site though: http://cyber-dyne.com/~jkohnen/linklists/boatlink-06.html#canoes
Nick Schade also has three sets of plans for strip built kayaks in his book. There is another book called "The Kayak Shop" that has plans for three stitch and glue kayaks. I built a skin on frame kayak from George Putz's book "Wood and Canvas Kayak Building". I like the skin kayak a lot, and it could be built for under $200 if you are careful. Here is a picture of my kayak (being paddled by my wife) that I built from free plans. I checked the book out from the library.
