I am considering building my first wood kayak. I live in Washington state. There is a kayak kit manufacturer called pygmy boats here in western Washington. There price is good and there boats look good in the add. Does anyone have any experience with them or there boats? I suppose like many other non carpenters the strip method is a bit intimadating. I really like the way they look, but I don't have anyone to help so I stand to make a ton of mistakes. Some of you folks that have been where I am might have alot of good input for my research. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
