CONSTRUCTION INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FOLDING KAYAK

These plans and instructions developed from plans of Jess Rathburn, Coordinator of Industrial Arts, San Francisco School District (Initial plans dated 1968, cost/instructions updated in 1972, 1984, 1997).

This kayak weighs less than 40 pounds and will carry a full‑sized man. The cost of materials varies between $90 and $130 (1985 prices). This design is for a ten foot model. The same basic principles have proven successful in 8, 12, and 14 foot models, both one and two man models. Everything in the boat is held together with contact cement (contact cement is waterproof).
