The next step in this process is to construct a second study model at twice this scale to refine various elements of the design.Then to construct the kayak at 1:1.

The journey ...
This web documentary records the process of designing and constructing a sea kayak using the wood strip method.
The design process and the selection of locally sourced materials has been informed by the intention of making a vessel that will possess a strong sense of place. It is intended that this kayak will engage meaningfully and harmoniously with the land and seascapes of Australia's east coast.
The principle materials of construction are Australian Red Cedar, Huon Pine, Spotted Gum, Humpback Whale bone, Sydney Turban shell, carbon fibre, kevlar and two pack resin.
