About Home Built Kayaks
Sea kayaking is one of the fastest growing sports -- and why not? It is a lot of fun. Modern sea kayaks are derived from seaworthy Eskimo boats, and are very safe and capable when used prudently. In my frequent crossings of the San Pedro Channel, 26 miles of open ocean, I often see groups of kayakers paddling across the channel to visit Catalina Island, a beautiful, rugged island with wide open spaces, small towns, trails, and campgrounds, in stark contrast to the high rises, factories, condos, power lines and freeways that occupy so much of the mainland coast. They cross 26 miles of open ocean that's over 3000 feet deep with a major shipping channel running right through the center of it. Whales, dolphins and Mako sharks up to 1000 lb are on constant patrol all over channel.
I designed the Huntington Harbor to be a super easy and fast boat to knock together. It is designed around standard milled lumber available at any Home Depot or Lowes using Gorilla Glue joints. You can build the Huntington Harbor for about $50 in materials and it will carry two people. There just isn't an easier or faster boat to build. The paddle plans are also included with the design.
Free Construction Plans for the Huntington Harbor Kayak
I'm offering free plans to build the Huntington Harbor Kayak for a limited time only, to help people get their feet wet building boats. I only ask that you e-mail me some pictures of your project if you decide to build one so I can post it on the web site.
