Brian Schulz of Cape Falcon Kayak will be teaching a 10-day intensive kayak building course at the Barbey Maritime Center. This unique class will be building all five Cape Falcon Kayak designs simultaneously, starting from scratch to finished product, allowing for students to experience both traditional Inuit hunting kayaks as well as modern skin-on-frame design. All students will leave the class with a full set of plans for all 5 kayaks being built, as well as have the opportunity to participate in an on-the-water half-day of instruction at the end of the class.

Skin-on-frame kayaks are ultralight, surprisingly tough, and allow for a degree of customization not easily accomplished with other types of building. A multi-disciplinary veteran paddler, Brian Schulz is one of a small handful of modern skin-on-frame experts worldwide.

Note: due to only one copy of each design being built, space is extremely limited for builders wishing to take a kayak home. There will be six additional spaces offered for those who wish to participate and learn.

Tuition:

• $1800, single kayak, modern or traditional
• $3000, double kayak
• $750 instruction only
