This page started out as a collection of information about building boats. It has since evolved to have an emphasis on building wooden kayaks.

Doug's Boat Page has been a web resource for home boatbuilders since June, 1995.

I feel that following the generation of a boat from a bundle of wooden strips to a usable kayak is satisfaction per se, especially when it is based on the beautiful designs of historical kayaks developed by the Eskimos in arctic regions.
