Built one fifteen years ago,went well.

Thousands of lifetime projects with woodglut plans.

💪😎👍

Sweet boat, job well done! Isn't it a unbelievable feeling when you stand back put your thumbs in your armpits and echo in your mind "wow I made that!" Many happy memories leaving wakes........

This is beautiful, my idea of a kayak!

Hello, hermoso, quiero uno... 🤗🤗

Woodprix Blueprints has some very useful blueprints with all the details you need.

100% spot on.

Beautiful kayak , you are a patient man, How do I know? I,m building the same,started in 2001 winter, from the same path , bought the book, read it, learned about the offsets,bought quality cedar, made my strips on tablesaw ,made the strong back, forms etc.. Then, sold the house, and then grandchildren (6) came,hang the project on the ceiling of garage, promising myself to finish it when Time allowed. Time (years) passed,then this year 2020 ,we cancelled our winter Florida trip, looked at the hanging project in the garage, took a deep breathe, then made my mind to do it now, Its, underway of completion right now, and I can,t wait for Spring to show up to start working outside on the epoxy. Imagine a 20 years span between Start and Completion, I,m thinking of naming this boat ""Long_Awaited"", Your kayak skows how patient and dedicated you were, Congrats.

Nice! Thanks for sharing the video. I am in the process of creating the forms from the offsets in his book. Fingers crossed mine looks that good

Use to do some car camping in Algonquin Park with my family growing up in southern Ontario. Awesome video thx

Nice trip!

Thanks for sharing your experience. Really nice job! Are you able to notice the staple holes after it is all varnished? I am debating using staples or clamps. I know staples are a lot faster.

Lovely Video! Thank you for sharing with us. Can't wait to see more 👍

Great video! I made my first trip to the gorge last week (June 8th).

Well.........(@27:53). Best "well" of the whole video. But seriously, don't you love filming on a solo hike? You get the best footage. I suppose, because you don't have anything better to do. LOL. Great video. Makes me want to go back.

Great review!!! Intelligent man 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Nice job. When you finish you feel like,, I want to build another!!

I've always had an interest in strip building. I grew up fishing out of a Redwood strip canoe my Dad had built. Beautiful Job! Your kids will grow up with fond memories of your kayak the same way I grew up with Pops' canoe. Enjoy!!!

nice trip !

nice man

It's been 11 months. Looking for your review.

There is no excuse for the loud background music and the faint narrative.

Remember when you took the strong back out and the two halves weighed like 9lbs. How many staples did you pull for that, eh?

well done!

This is such a beautiful kayak. It really is a work of art.

Very inspiring to see the end product! A lot of guys would love to build one one but you actually did. So when are going to build your daughters one each?

Awesome Job Ryan. So reminded me of the my own garage and build of 2 Guillemots at the same time (Night Heron and Expedition single). Lots of fun to build but spent a lot of time in the process just like you. Seemed like such a similar experience. Thanks for putting this out there.

Two of my grad school class mates and I built each of us a Kayak from plans in an issue of sunset magazine (March 1963). RUclips hadn't been invented yet. Probably a good thing, but my kayak travelled across the U.S., lasted years and was handed down to my son what still has it. Not nearly as pretty as this one, but just as much fun to build and sail.

That kayak is so beautiful. Well done to the designer and builder.

I have watched it over and over again. Can't wait to go back.

Thanks Ryan. I have used a paddle float (just starting) but what I meant was a ladder style rescue where you mount the kayak from the stern and pull it under you between your legs until you straddling over the cockpit. Heading to the pool right now to try it.

Why not just do a ladder reentry from the stern? Paddle float seems like a hassle.

Might not feel like it at first but after several miles, your legs and back will thank you. Trust me. I did 20 years in the Army. Every ounce you carry matters.

Great Ideas. I agree that its a great way to shed some weight from your pack. In my opinion, your cook system and water filtration are two of the easiest and cheapest ways to lose a few ounces.

Awesome trip. Looking forward to joining you on the next one. Great job on the video. Nice production value.

Ryan, I watched your OV Down Top Quilt box opening and was wondering if you used this quilt on this trip? You mentioned that whatever you used kept you warm on the first night. Let me know if it is the OV. Thank you!

Bravo !

Nice review. Sounds like your Outdoor Vitals top quilt will surely deliver years of glorious warmth in the back country.

Excellent review Ryan! Am actually looking for a TQ and a UQ. May look into OV. One day I will get my RUclips channel going lol

Congrats she's beautiful Ryan

I built that same design from Nicks book. I built mine in 2001 and it has seen countless miles of lakes . I have paddled in my home state of Mo, Ar Nm , Ok and Tx. I love paddling this kayak. I will be building the 19' model of the Guillimot . I camp out of mine all the time. I want to build the longer version for longer expeditions. I hope you are not a shy pearson either. My kayak brings people out of the wood work to ask me about it. You did a beautiful job and I wish you years of safe and happy paddling.

I'm pretty sure the best instruction is on woodprix website.

Beautiful boat!

Just watched this video (several years late, ha ha) Absolutely Gorgeous Craftsmanship... Well done...

Nice boat, but I cannot hear most of the narrative because of the guitar music. (heavy sigh) It's always guitar music, on DIY and I Made This videos. I love watching them, seeing the different ideas and creativity of people from all over the world, but please Please PLEASE lose the guitars. :) With love.

Хорошая работа, очень мило получилось, молодцы!

I'm now looking at building a Guillemot myself. Thanks for posting. Looks like you did a fantastic job. Hope you have made your trip to the Manitou Islands. Be safe.

Nice
