By Sam Rizzetta. Paperback, 215mm x 274mm, 239 pages, monochrome photographs and drawings.
Boats made from kevlar or carbon fiber composites are lighter to carry, easier to paddle, and tough as nails, but that factory-built canoe or kayak you have your eye on can cost $2,000 or more. Why not build your own instead? With master craftsman Sam Rizzetta's revolutionary fabric-form construction method, you can build a kevlar, carbon fiber, or fiber glass boat at a fraction of the retail cost and in a fraction of the time required by other building methods.
Inside you will find:

• Complete building plans for three boats, including Rizzetta's innovative, ergonomically optimized Wasp canoe design.
• Full instructions for the use of fabric-covered forms to build a boat quickly and easily.
• Instructions for molding a new boat around your favourite old one.
• A simple method for retrofitting and using safety flotation in a canoe or recreational kayak.
• Instructions for building lightweight paddles and model boats.
