Norstar 14ft Kayak
Availability: Product not in stock!
Beam: 1'9 1/4"
Hull depth: 11"
This is an easily constructed plywood kayak with a skin of 3/16" Marine plywood which gives a lightweight strong hull. The Norstar is easily paddled by one or two people and is light enough to be carried on the roof rack of a small car. The weight would be approximately 60 lbs if lightweight materials are used. This is a very easily driven seaworthy hull and has been designed with safety in mind. Ther are watertight bulkheads fore and aft to prevent the kayak sinking in the event of a capsize and the stem pieces protrude through the deck so that a permanent bow and stern line can be attached for added safety.
The plan features FULLSIZE FRAME PATTERNS and these are simply cut from plywood and then reinforced with 3/4" timber battens so that 3/16" the chines and gunwales etc. can be easily screwed and glued in place.
