: Check out Chris cunninghams book, "building a greenland
: kayak".

: with the "greenland style" it's steam bent ribs and such,
: and it offers you all the possibilities for customisation you
: want.

: for example i made one for my girlfriend using cunninghams method,
: but changing the design so it's only 3 meters long, but 60 cm
: wide, with a large cockpit.
: check out: www.emma-kayak.blogspot.com

: also cunningham is very good at describing exactly how to do
: everything, and he loves funny little jigs that take longer to
: make than the time they save... :P

Chris Cunningham's book is fine, have a copy, he goes a bit oversized on the sizes of all the parts though. Might want to look at other's suggests on those before you build.
