The Dix 16 Kayak
Our main project at the moment
is this 16 foot sea kayak being designed by Dudley
Dix. This extremely light ( 35lb ), durable kayak will be available as a completed
boat, a kit and also as a course built boat. It is suitable for all paddlers, and especially great for those of us who find lifting a 55lb boat onto a car roof
rack to be a problem.
The Dyson Aleut
This kayak was developed by the famous kayaking guru and author George Dyson from a traditional Aleut design. He modifed the design to fit the larger build of Old World paddlers using an innovative aluminum tube and skin construction. Plans and some parts for this method of building are still available from him. With his kind permission we are developing a wooden framed skin on kayak using this design.
A lot of thought has gone into the construction
planning. Because of that, this kayak can easily be built by those of minimal skill in two to three days with the standard "commonly available household tools." I expect most of the builders
will be folk who have never built anything before . Keep
visiting the site; we will add details of the new boats as they
become available.
