Plans for building your own feathered kayak paddle.
Making your own paddle is a fun way to upgrade your equipment. It is a fairly quick project. You should be able to make one in a couple weekends. The paddle I make does require a bandsaw, but the technique I describe can be adapted to hand tools.
The plans show how to create the feather angle. While I like a fairly large blade, changing the size and length is easy. Six different paddle blade sizes are drawn out full-sized on the plans. The instructions in my book describe the basic method for making any laminated paddle and includes time saving methods.
Sizes range from 12 to 36 inches and prices range from $150 to $600. Models of any of the Guillemot Kayaks designs are available. Please contact Nick for a quote. Although some models are in stock please allow time enough time to deliver carve and ship the design you desire.
