14 Foot Great Auk Recreational Kayak Plans - PDF

This kayak design is a shortened version of the Great Auk, specifically tailored for recreational use on sheltered lakes, harbors, and other calm water environments.

Its compact length allows for better maneuverability in tight streams and estuaries, while still providing efficient paddling for modest distances. While not intended for rough water, this wood kayak remains stable in moderate winds and waves, and can even be outfitted with a rudder for added control.

Whether exploring tranquil lakes, ponds, or bays, this strip built kayak offers easy handling and performance. These kayak plans are perfect for DIY boat builders seeking a relaxing trip on the water.
