Kayak Builders Meet at the Beach photos added to the site

[Dan_Millsip]

A great time was had by everyone who attended this event. In total, about 25 kayaks and canoes were on display. Once again, it was a pleasure getting together with everyone to enjoy a great day talking about building and paddling.

You can view the photos of the event in our Boat/Accessory Building section.

If you attended the event, could you please e-mail me at contact@westcoastpaddler.com and let me know your name, the design name of your boat and any other information that you'd like to include in the descriptions -- thanks!

Thanks to Rod and Joanne Tait of Orca Boats for hosting the event.

Hey I love shot #10 - that's the Ironman Canada Logo (long distance triathlon - Swim 2.4 miles, Ride 112 Miles, Run 26.2 Miles). I've done that race 7 times myself.....love to know who that boat belongs to.

The Ironman kayak is owned and was built by a fellow by the name of Dave Lyons. He did an incredibly nice job of the entire boat.

Any chance of getting some more information on some of those boats? I'll really like to hear more on how "Facetious" was built.

 

[Dan_Millsip]

Facetious was built by Mick Allen, who comes up with some of the most inventive and original ideas of anyone that I've had the pleasure of meeting. There was quite a discussion a while back about the way it was constructed on the Kayak Builders Bulletin Board -- here's a link to the thread:
