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.
