FYI there is a show on PBS, Sunday mornings at 11:30, concerning boat building. The last couple of episodes have been building a stitch and glue wooded kayak. I think it is a Tern. It you can find the show it is well worth watching. The show does not spend 30 minutes on just the kayak but does talk about other issues. But what he does shows I think would help someone building or thinking about building a kayak. Course if you are not in the US then the show is not likely to help much! 8-) I'm sure people with more knowledge will add more to the topic but the boat on the show has a thin plywood that is being stiched with wire ties and then epoxied togather. Then the boat is fiberglassed at least on the exterior. I now understand what a stich and glue boat consists of. The phrase always puzzled me before... Hope this helps...
