I've got a tough project...

Hi, I am a 17 year old High School Cad student. This year, for our final project in my CAD class, we have to construct boats/canoes/kayaks. The size limitations on our boats is 14 foot long, 28 inches wide, and as tall as we want it. Now for the tricky part. They have to be constructed entirely out of cardboard. Do any of you seasoned kayak designers have plans for a kayak that would be able to be constructed out of cardboard? Since we cant use glue, only duck tape, this adds to the degree of challenge of our project. The kayak I need to build has to hold 2 people also. Any plans/sketches would be greatly appreciated. I have autocad R14 on my home computer, though I mainly use Mechanical Desktop at school. Thanks.
