Building the Greenland Kayak : A Manual for Its Contruction and Use by Cunnin…

Description: About this productProduct InformationThis step-by-step guide to building a lashed-frame, fabriccovered sea kayak is both a means to a sleek, fast, universally admired boat and an excellent introduction to woodworking and boatbuilding for hobbyists. The Inuit design scales up or down to fit the paddler and can be built using $150 worth of hardware-store materials, a few basic tools, and a minimal investment of time. Also included: plans for a low-volume version designed for Eskimo rolling; an especially stable version for children; and discussions of kayaking equipment, paddling, and rolling techniques.Product IdentifiersPublisherMcGraw-HillISBN-100071392378ISBN-139780071392372eBay Product ID (ePID)2393431Product Key FeaturesFormatTrade PaperbackPublication Year2002LanguageEnglishDimensionsWeight12.6 OzWidth7.3in.Height0.5in.Length9.2in.Additional Product FeaturesDewey Edition21Table of ContentAcknowledgments Introduction 1.
