I have built a Chesapeake Lightcraft 16 using plans included in the book
'The New Kayak Shop" and I am presently building a Pygmy Golden Eye from
plans that I purchased. For the Chesapeake 16, I pretty much built it the
way it was designed but I am putting a modified deck on the Pygmy Golden Eye
to give it a cambered deck which I think looks much nicer. Both of these
boats are stitch and glue and I am very happy with the looks and performance
of the Chesapeake 16.

Hello boaters, has anyone here built an kayak using an combination of his
own design and one of the proven ones from recognized builders ?I,m
interested in the stitch and glue type. I would like to construct it from
as
few pieces as possible . 2 pieces for bottom, 1 or 2 pieces for the sides
and then the deck. Does this sound do-able? Thanks for any help.
