You can achieve a boatlike object in a short time. Customer support is excellent. The website is a gold mine of info. I am contemplating my third build. CAUTION, it is very addictive.

5 star kayak designs, kits and workshops! I’m through 5 of 5.5 day workshop building a Shearwater 17 and I’m amazed by what is transforming right in front of us. Knowledgeable and friendly staff and a great group of classmates has made for a wonderful week in Annapolis! Highly recommended.

I took the plunge and built a guillemot night heron a couple of years back. It consistently surprises me with the joy I feel every time I paddle her. The lightness of the hull & the pleasing lines never cease to start a conversation from passers by
