Building a Wood Duck Kayak in 5.5 Days

Join me as I and 4 students build a beautiful Wood Duck kayak from a Chesapeake Light Craft kit during an immersive 5¹⁄₂ day boatbuilding class! Held in a hands-on, small-group setting, this workshop walked us through every step of the process—from assembling the marine plywood hull to fiberglassing, sanding, and prepping the kayak for finishing. The Wood Duck is designed for stability, comfort, and great tracking, the Wood Duck series is perfect for lakes, rivers, and bays. The kit is precision-cut and thoughtfully engineered, ideal for first-time builders. Whether you're a first-time builder or an experienced woodworker, this class offers a unique chance to learn directly from expert instructors and bring home a nearly finished, high-performance wooden kayak. If you've ever dreamed of building your own boat, this video will show you how possible (and fun) it really is. Interested in when the next class will be?
