How to build a cedar strip kayak. First we set-up the strongback and molds, then install the cedar strips and fibreglass the hull. Then we make the deck and complete the fibreglassing. The hull and deck are joined and the finishing touches completed ... all in 9 minutes!

Yes, there is a notch in the moulds for the rail at the gunwale. The rail is used to fasten the deck and hull together.

When you turned over the hull what kept the molds in place since you removed it from the box beam?

The molds are waxed or covered with packing tap to prevent the epoxy from sticking to the molds. Even so they do stick a bit. They are also fasted to the hull at the stringer with screws, that are eventually removed. Sounds like you need to pick up a copy of "Kayak Craft".

The kayak is 18' 3" long and weighs about 50-60lbs.

The kayak took me about 150-200 hours to build, at a cost of about CND$2200. As for tools you just need a jig saw, a good sander and a good plane or two (very sharp), and lots of c-clamps. If you want to build one yourself I highly recommend that you get a copy of "Kayak Craft" by Ted Moores ... it takes the guess work out of the whole process.
