Guillemot Double Kayak Plans - PDF

This Guillemot Double Kayak Plan adapts my successful designs for a spacious, stable, and comfortable double kayak. Though a stern rudder can fit easily, it is not essential. The cockpits are well-spaced, allowing paddlers to not be in sync. A hatch can fit between them.

This is an ideal kayak for two, whether beginners or intermediate paddlers. More experienced paddlers seeking a tandem should consider the Great Auk Double or Fast Double. The deep, roomy cockpits offer comfort and security, and there is ample space for leg movement and dry storage. With a center hatch, this boat can easily accommodate multi-day trips.

This is one of the boats featured in my book, where you can find all the necessary plans and instructions for construction. Purchasing the plans will save you the trouble of creating the forms.

Included in the PDF Plans:

• Eleven 24" x 36" [61cm x 91cm] Drawing Pages including: An overall drawing, a full size "stacked" form drawing showing all the forms and then all the forms drawn individually and at full size. Also included is a full size pattern for the cockpits.
• Kayak Building Notes: These notes provide supplemental information such as bill of materials for each design.
• This file requires a large format printer to make hardcopies. You may also try tiling the printing on a smaller printer. If you don't want to do that Full Size Printed Plans are available Here.
