This book is very good I must have read it 3-4 times the first month I had it and picked up tips each time. It is well written, easy to understand, as I have never built a boat before, still havn't but hope to this winter. Excellent intro to a project like this.
 A very handy technical back stop!! July 25, 2006

This is a very useful book in terms of getting a handle on wood strip kayak construction. It is well written, concise and clear. It suffers from some unfortunate americanisms (eg material suppliers, wood types, etc). There are also some areas like staple-less construction that are not covered deeply enough - but overall a fine addition to the books in this space.

I have found The Strip-Built Sea Kayak an interesting book. I have not been able to build a boat yet but plan to this spring. I have graphed the forms and found the book to explain it well. I hope the rest of the boat goes as well as the forms did.
Kayak or canoe, this is required reading October 8, 2005

If you are interested in building a strip built boat, either a sea kayak or a canoe, this book needs to be in your library. Nick Schade wrote a start-to-finish guide, from theory to practical application, about building these fine craft. He is an engineer by training, but he manages to write the book in an easy to follow, let me go clean my garage and get started style. The techniques he discusses are applicable to all light boats of this type, and can be applied to virtually any design. The only thing that might be a little intimidating is the drafting plots for the three designs... after all, he sells the plans for these boats as well.
This book is also a detailed study in marine art... these boats are beautiful!
