This site has plans and instructions for lots of ocean kayaks in both
strip and plywood. There is an extensive online instruction section
with photos but you have to buy the plans to get the plans for molds.

They are really pretty kayaks and seem pretty tough. This site has
helped me in planning my canoe build. The description here is better
than what I got with my plans from the designer of the canoe.

Which reminds me - I bought the antithesis of an ocean kayak coupla
weeks ago with the intention of exploring the local brooks n streams.

Mountain High at Wichita, Ks sold me a demo model Perception Swiftie
9.5 at well under $300 and it did just what I wanted - I can manhandle
it on and off a sub compact's roof, and paddle it in some comfort and
stability.

Such a relief! My last experience with a Perception was an early 14
ft round keel, rockered rotomold in natural polythene color which just
would not go straight, AT ALL! But would it ever roll......

Just couldn't build at this kinda price
