Boat Building Classes
Turn plywood into a beautiful sea kayak in 6 days
Sea kayaking is the sport of taking a small boat out on to the big ocean. You could buy an ordinary plastic kayak, or you could build your own which will be lighter, faster and more fun than buy.
Space still available to build your own S&G Night Heron
There is still a few spaces available at my Build-your-own S&G Night Heron Class at the WoodenBoat School in Brooklin, Maine. This is a fun class at a great location, if you are looking for way to spend a week in Maine and come home with a fun boat, this is your chance.

Dave Murray - Stitch and Glue Night Heron
Took the new S&G Heron out to play this weekend. Air and water low 70's. Mild surf. This kayak loves surf and rough water! Note that when I hybridized it I followed the S&G shape; enough of this rounding over decks! I built this kayak entirely from left over bits and pieces already in the shop. Appropriately named "Scrappy."
