Can Your Wood Boat Land Here?

Expedition lay ups are easily put on any wood boat and it will handle any landing you put to a commercial boat. Without question it is possible to make your hull sturdy enough to handle severe encounters, the question is do you expect to do this regularly?

Often I hear customers say "I would like to be safe, just in case." I let them know that for the most part, the added weight is worth it if you need it. The added weight has little performance penalty while it is in the water. It's getting to and from the water where weight becomes a possible issue. If you always paddle with someone else and you have two people to load and unload the kayak then heavier glass and possible addition of more glass in critical areas makes sense.

The wood and glass combination used in wood boat construction by Eskimo Tom has been found to be be exceptionally strong for its weight. These boats are built for the paddle ahead.
