Adirondack Guide Boat 

Beautiful, agile, and surprisingly seaworthy, the Adirondack Guide Boat is art in motion. I created my skin-on-frame version in 2008 and instantly fell in love.  The Guide Boat is one of those rare watercraft that offers the lightweight and convenient launching of a sea kayak with ergonomics and comfort of a rowboat.  Picnics, fishing, camping, or just stranding yourself in a marsh for an afternoon with a good book, the Guideboat lends a feeling of elegance to just about any activity.    

Far from the simplicity of a kayak,  the skin-guideboat is actually a bit of work which is why I don't make them very often.   Classes are private one-on-one instruction and takes about 9 days.   The guideboat is more than twice the effort and four times the materials cost of a single kayak, and I can only make two at once, so the class cost is $4000,  and even at that price it's a labor of love.   Custom built for you at $5000 includes oars.
