MAY 19, 2016 // 3 Get some skin on! Kayak-building course on tap ASTORIA — This summer, skin-on-frame boat-builder Brian Schulz of Cape Falcon Kayak is teaching a 10-day intensive kay- ak-building course at the Barbey Maritime Center, June 29 to July 8 at the Barbey Maritime Center, 1792 Marine Drive . Students will build all fi ve Cape Falcon Kayak designs simulta- neously, starting from scratch to fi nished product, allowing students to experience both traditional Inuit hunting kayaks, as well as modern skin-on-frame design. All students will leave the class with a full set of plans for all fi ve kayaks being built, as well as have the opportunity to participate in an on-the-water, half-day instruction at the end of the class. Five students can sign up to bring a kayak home, coast but space is obviously limited. Skin-on-frame kayaks are ultra- light, tough and allow for a degree of customization not easily accom- plished with other types of building. A multi-disciplinary veteran paddler, Schulz is one of a handful of modern skin-on-frame experts worldwide. His love for teaching and paddling has resulted in effi - cient building processes, as well as some good designs. He will videotape the entire pro- cess for an upcoming instructional series. Both novices or seasoned wood- workers will leave with knowledge of skin-on-frame building, and most importantly, the confi dence to build their own kayaks at home.
