Sailing Kayak

[john allsop]

Thinking about Sailing Kayaks there is a home built design which might be worth looking into by anyone who would like a purpose built sailing machine. It is a plan offered by clark craft.com in the USA. the size is 14 feet long by 24 inches wide it dosn,t have a pontoon set up but those would be easy to make and if of a decent length a great asset, it shows lee boards but a centre board could easily be fitted if wanted, there will be sails on the plan but klepper S1 sails might fill the bill. Also it should be easy to paddle. The boat is made of ply and from the brief description at Clark Craft it sounds easy . It is called a 1 MAN KAYAK and i think the working drawings with full size patterns costs $40 US. Very tempting if my owner would agree as i have six kayaks already, plus i would have to heat the garage.
