> I have never buildt a Kayak before and I realy don't know where to start.

Paul's response is good. He missed one thing. You need to size the kayak to yourself. For instance, if you are 5'6" and 135lb you will build a different kayak than if you were 6'5" and 260lb.

You stated you were a woodworker, that allows you to build from plans rather than kits.

look at Nick's site here for many stripper designs.

Go to http://www.clcboats.com/ for stitch and glue designs ALL available to build from plans.

Go to Pygmy (I do not have there website) for a different approach to S&G. However, they have few plans available.

Go to Laughing Loon website for alternative stripper designs.

All of these people will help you, via Email, to decide which kayak is best for you.
