| The
"How To" of Strip Building
“After years of teaching, designing, building and
producing plans for kayaks, I receive countless requests
for tips and hints on methods used in our shop. I
now share my skills and knowledge with you to promote
and foster the Wooden Boat Building Community”
“Much of the details are taken directly from our
building manuals which are included in all our kayak
plans. Now you can read some of it for yourself. Since
there are many different methods to assemble a strip
built kayak, the details below are intended for information
only and have been specifically written for building
Orca Boats kayaks. Feel free to browse the sections
below, borrow what works for you and revise what doesn't.
New information is added on a regular basis as new
techniques and tips are generated, so visit often.
All the categories are in full colour printable version.
Click on the Printable Download Format (PDF) icon
from the list. Some sections also include downloadable
diagrams”
I hope you find the information useful and assists
you in turning your “Paddling Dreams into
Reality”.
