I recently did a 9-day kayak-building workshop with Mark Rogers (Superior Kayaks) and I invite interested list members to contact me offline (tfj4_at_comcast.net) if they would like any first-hand feedback on the experience of building your own skin-on-frame kayak under a little expert supervision. Mark is in Wisconsin and I understand there are a handful of similar workshops around the country run by others. If you are interested in "Greenland techniques," or are just in the market for a boat that you will build to your body specifications, I highly recommend investigating such a workshop. It was really interesting and now my skin-on-frame is waiting for the final coating and curing in my garage; I can't wait to paddle it. I have no affiliation with Mark or with Superior Kayaks other than being a very satisfied alumnus.
