In Response To: S&G: New to the forum, some questions (ettienne)

: I'm new so please bear with me.
: I'm interested in building a S&G Guillemot as a first attempt
: to build a wood kayak. My ultimate goal is to build a strip
: kayak, but I want to start with something simpler.
: I have glassed boats, surfboards and foam core sea kayaks before,
: so that is not new to me.

: I have figured out I need 3 sheets of 4x8 plywood.
: How much fibreglass cloth do I need, or maybe which width should I
: get? I see there is 30" and 50".
: The epoxy also confuses me, which type should I get and how much of
: it?

: Thanks in advance.
: Ettienne

CLC and Guilemott are working together. Is the yak you intend to build listed on the CLC site? If it is they will have a list of what you need and how much. Which build do you intend to make?
