Laughing Loon Custom Kayaks

A Panache from Laughin Loon

Each of the Kayak plans include a 65 page book of instructions with over 160 illustrations and photographs of work methods and jigs. I provide a materials list, research reading list and all my sources for woods, resins, fiberglass cloth and hardware.  I have received a great deal of positive feedback from builders saying they found my plans to be clear and easy to follow. I have written these plans describing in detail how I build wood-strip boats. My assumption is that folks buying my plans have not built a boat before. I have worked step by step through these instructions to make boat building accessible to you. - Rob Macks, Designer.
