Boat Plans

So I’ve decided to really get into whitewater this year. I have an older 11′ Whitewater boat which simply isn’t suited for anything Class III and up. A coworker of mine is an ACA certified Whitewater Kayaking instructor, and plans to re-introduce me to the sport. My question is…which boat should I get?

I know that’s a broad question, and I have a few guidelines.

1) It must be under 8′ 5" or so to fit in my dorm room upright.

2) I’m working with a college student’s budget, I’m hoping to buy used at under $400

3) I’m going to be mostly in rivers & creeks, up to Class IV. It would be nice if this boat could also be used to surf when I go back to the seacoast, but I have another boat for that, so it isn’t essential.

4) I’m 5′ 10" average build, 170lbs

So…what kayaks would you guys recommend?

With those criteria, you should have many boats to choose from. A majority of modern boats these days are under 8 feet (though a very recent trend has been toward longer boats, e.g. Remix, Green Boat, Axiom).

You could go with either a pure river-runner or a river-running playboat. River-runners will be more forgiving in the harder stuff, while the river-running playboats will be more fun in easier waters.

For river-running boats, Wavesport Diesel, Dagger Mamba, and Pyranha Burn are popular (I have a Burn that I’m happy with on Class IV). Not sure if you’ll find one for $400 yet, but you can probably get close. Some older river runners to consider might be the Wavesport Z, Necky Jive, or Pyranha H-series.

For river-running playboats, I had a Wavesport Score that I used up to Class IV, though it was a bit of a challenge with its slicy ends. Still that and the smaller Forplay might work for you. Other possibilities might be the Wavesport EZ series (probably Big EZ), Pyranha Inazone, or Necky Gliss/Bliss.

Those are just models off the top of my head that friends or I have used and liked. There are certainly others. Check paddling.net and eddyflower.com for reviews and specs.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (often shortened to Huck Finn) is a novel written by Mark Twain and published in 1884. It is commonly regarded one of the Great American Novels, and is one of the first major American novels written in the vernacular, characterized by local color regionalism. It is told in the first person by Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, best friend of Tom Sawyer and narrator of two other Twain novels.
The book is noted for its colorful description of people and places along the Mississippi River. By satirizing a Southern antebellum society that was already anachronistic at the time of its publication, the book is an often scathing look at entrenched attitudes, particularly racism. The drifting journey of Huck and his friend Jim, a runaway slave, down the Mississippi River on their raft may be one of the most enduring images of escape and freedom in all of American literature.

OK bought the plans sourced the timber got the marine grade plywood for the hull got the tools, know how to read a technical drawing and bang.
Our lass asks what the law is regarding this "Is it like a car and needs a technical inspection an MOT to us Brits or can you just bung it on the water and get on with it what is that number that you see on all sailing yachts and power boats even jet skis if i recall correctly. How do you get one? Typical isnt it first I take something up that other people are genuinley interested in and I can share with other people (I have always built motorbikes before) and they start asking questions even though it is a good one and make it complicated. So any boat builders out there or recreational sailors who have any pointers on this subject I would be really grateful for any input. Thanks in advance

Woman gees they spoil everything.

No mate you don’t need any test, you can sail round the world in a bath tub if your daft enough.

I do not need anything fancy. I prefer a standard steel as I do not how to weld galvenized or aluminium. Thanks for you input, and have a great day!

From a junk (recycled metals) dealer. I suggest you shop around.

YOU have a great nautical day, captain.

Our last day in London (May 12, 2008) had arrived. We got up at the crack of dawn for early morning adventure: a sunrise kayaking experience on Regents Canal. At 5:45 we met Danny Gillard from ThamesRiverAdventures who recently started a kayaking outfit that provides guided kayak tours in different parts of London. Danny, who is an occupational health and safety specialist by profession, also plans to offer kayak tours in Australia and New Zealand in the winter. Kayaking on this historic canal was a supremely peaceful and serene activity and introduced us to this bustling metropolis from a completely different angle. For me personally this sunrise kayaking trip was a definite highlight of my entire London experience. After freshening up at our bed and breakfast we headed out at 11 am with our guide Ann Mark, a certified Blue Badge London tourist guide, who took us in a couple of double-decker buses to Southall, one of Londons ethnic neighbourhoods.

Over the last few decades this area has become a centre for Londons South Asian community and the streets are lined with Indian and Pakistani stores and eateries. Ann, a very openminded and cosmopolitan character, was appropriately dressed in a sari since she had just recently returned from a trip to India herself. The three of us girls got enchanted with the colourful jewellery and clothing on offer at the various retail outlets, and our neighbourhood walk turned into a bit of a shopping spree. We picked up a variety of beautiful scarves and jewellery, all at great prices. At one upscale clothing store my travel partner Andrea even tried on an Indian party dress and modeled it for us. We stopped at a local eatery to sample some delicious spicy South Asian food, and at 13 pounds for three people it turned out to be a rather affordable culinary experience. I interviewed several of the shopkeepers and street merchants, and all of us enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere in the Southall shopping area. We then strolled past the historic Himalaya movie theatre and stopped off at a South Asian supermarket where Ann and Andrea picked up some supersized bags of tea and other exotic merchandise. I had a chance to interview Ann who is an interesting character, a former investment banker turned tourist guide who is certified to provide professional London tours in six languages.

Londons multicultural flavour was definitely evident. Our evening continued along the same lines. Since we had to get up very early the next day for our departure, we decided to eat locally close to our bed and breakfast in the Holland Park area. We found a quaint little Thai restaurant called the Cool Monkey where we enjoyed generous portions of flavourful South East Asian food. Over the past three days we had caught a glimpse of so many areas of London, and I had got a good impression of this citys phenomenal diversity. From the downtown banking district to Buckingham Palace to a boat ride on the Thames River to early morning kayaking and explorations of different ethnic areas, London was a great experience, and I cant wait to get back there and explore even more facets of this one-of-a-kind metropolis.

Matthew wins some money and tells Sooty, Sweep and Soo that he’s bought a three mastered sailing ship, so they all get excited, but it only turns out to be a model ship. Matthew starts making his model boat, while Sooty makes a model boat from plasticine, Sweep makes a model of a dug out canoe and Soo paints a picture of a boat. Matthew and Sooty decide to go on a real boat, but things don’t turn out as well as Matthew plans.
