Build Nymph and Night Heron

Registration starts January 2nd.

If you can't make the July class, take a look at the one in August.

There are some places you can only get with a kayak. Paddling a kayak you built yourself is a gratifying way to explore the coast.

The Petrel "Play" is suitable for quiet paddles in calm water or for ripping it up in the surf when there is a big nor-easter off shore. Wooden kayaks are lightweight and strong making ideal for rough water.

The Petrel "Play" is made of Okoume marine plywood and can be built by do it yourself woodworkers and boatbuilders either from plans or a kit.

The S&G Petrel is a sophisticated stitch and glue plywood you can build yourself. Made from okoume plywood, fiberglass and epoxy it is a great project for the DIY woodworker looking to make something other than another birdhouse.

The S&G Petrel works well for a variety of paddlers. The cockpit just seems to fit.

This boat is stitch and glue construction, made from okoume marine plywood. It is available as plans or a kit for do it yourself boat builders.

Nick's parents Duffy and Gerhard, giving the new Mystic River Tandem canoe a test paddle. The wood is western red cedar and Atlantic white cedar with basswood gunwales. The red cedar has a stain on it.

This photo was taken on launching day for the new cedar strip canoe that I'm calling the "Mystic River Tandem". It still needs some more sanding and several coats of varnish, but it is all built and ready to go.
