Re: Diamond Kayak

Here's one built by, "One of our favorite builders," Bob Cushing of Cazanova, New York. 





My plans show wrapping the bottom and ends up from a single 2 x 20 foot piece of 4mm plywood. The internal structure is very spare. Made in 1/4", Bob' is a good deal heavier, but it's clear the firm was trying for no more than forty pounds.

Here, you can see how much she carries, and how beautiful the concept.



I noted happily just recently that the trunk was adopted by Jim Michalak for his shorter double paddle canoeImresboat,
