Kayak Gentian Bay

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gentian Bay after a test dip off Madeline Island near Ashland, WI and before final finishing. This is a multichine design meant to be fast and light. It features 4 ounce glass in and out with 4MM hull planks and 3MM deck and custom coaming. If you built an S&G kayak from one of the kit companys you may have found it a bit wide. I liked the multichine design but wanted something more slender. Call or email for particulars.

Greetings. My new wife and I have recently relocated to Elk River Minnesota and I'm busy getting the the canoe plans and kayak plans end of the business up and running which has caused some delay in updating these pages. I apologize for the delay.

Don't be afraid to contact me via email or by phone. Information is on the contact page which has been updated. I had hoped to have more plans details up this year however many folks are requesting custom work..

If you do not see a canoe plan or kayak plan you are looking for, please contact me and I can email you a PDF with descriptions, lines and particulars.
