BUILD
A WEST GREENLAND STYLE SEA KAYAK
with
ANDREW MALCOMB
Come
build a West Greenland-style sea kayak with Canadian-born boatbuilder
Andrew Malcomb and enjoy the tradition of handcrafting your own
sea worthy vessel, 10,000 years in the making.
We'll
use Alaskan yellow cedar with oak dowels and artificial sinew
lashings. There are no fasteners or glue, and all boats are custom
to each builder. These boats move FAST, are very seaworthy, and
provide an intimate experience with the sea. They are designed
to be recreational boats, not expedition boats.

TRADITIONAL
SKIN ON FRAME KAYAK BUILDING COURSE
with
BRIAN SCHULZ
June
19 - 25, 2007
 This
summer, traditional kayak builder Brian Schulz returns as guest-host
for a kayak building class at Atlantic Challenge. The kayaks
he builds are Skin on Frame--a light wooden skeleton covered
with a waterproof nylon skin. These are the modern descendants
of the Eskimo hunting kayaks.
Each
student builds their own kayak and paddle custom fit to your
body and paddling needs. Building a skin on frame kayak is fun
and easy. The result is a beautiful, seaworthy boat that is
incredibly lightweight and surprisingly durable.
