The American Craft Museum, located at 40 West 53rd Street, currently has a display called "Objects For Use" featuring, among other things, a strip-built kayak built by Nick Schade, a Bruce Lemon Baidarka Frame, a Phil Greene Canoe and several paddles as well as several wooden surf boards. It is a great exhibit that I came across on a lunchtime walk. If you are in the area it is worth stopping by to take a look. The museum is on West 53rd Street, between 5th and 6th Avenue in Manhattan.
Nick's kayak, a Night Heron I think, and Phil Green's canoe is in the lobby of the Deutche Bank building which is also part of the museum. The entrance to that part of the display is on West 52nd Street, just east of the CBS Building.
