Currently building my fuselage method SOF. Having had an 18' expedition fibreglass sea kayak previously, the components of my 15' touring SOF seem stupidly light 😁
I've help several people hoist their kayaks back up onto their car. One guy asked about the weight of mine and I let him pick it up. He just groaned. Another think about SOF boats is their flexibility. Going through waves is a different experience.
I don't have plans for this particular boat, but you can look through the website yostwerks.org/ and learn a lot how to build one. Most of the boats on this site are aluminum frame and are folding kayaks, but it's easier just to make it as a wood frame. Also, check out my own website paddleandoar.com. Also google "skin on frame kayaks". Good luck!
the vivid images and inspirational words got me hooked to build my own !
It CAN be an obsession. Enjoy!

Are patterns or offsets, etc for your boats avail anywhere?
Although I don't have any a good place to start would be yostwerks.org - thanks for asking.
Do you have the plans of this? Could share with as?

where did you buy the nylon from ??
Got my nylon from George Dyson but that was a long time ago. Don't know if he still sells it and don't really know how to get a hold of him any more.
