Shipping my Willow and QuickBeam kits is on hold right now. Issues with suppliers and my shipper along with escalating prices have steered me towards this tough decision. Once I'm through the 2022 teaching season and can spend a bit of time in my office I hope to resolve these issues and start shipping kits again in the fall of 2022. 

The Willow Kayak is available as a complete kit. All plywood parts are precision cut on a CNC machine and I've cut the scarf joints for you. The kits include all the wooden parts, fiberglass cloth and tape, epoxy resin, fillers, pumps and all hardware needed for assembly. Kayak kits ship with appropriate deck rigging, footbraces with mounting hardware, a high-end kayak seat and mini-cell foam for outfitting. Each kit includes a builders set of plans and a 35 page building manual.

Please note: Currently kits are shipped only to the continental usa.  Alaska and Canada residents, please contact us to make arrangements.
