Building the PBK 18 Kayak

This Blog records to some detail -- from start to finish -- the building of a PBK18 kayak during the month of August in 2010. It is based on a set of plans purchased in the late 60s; is simple to build from wood, glue, screws and canvas, but does require some carpentry skills. A number of products and processes were substituted and this is documented and is based on experience from a build in 1974 also posted in the beginning of this blog. Enjoy - pbk18.builder@gmail.com
