The boat kit I have selected is a Mill Creek kayak from Chesapeake Light Craft.

The Mill Creek is small enough to launch single-handed, yet large enough to carry some gear. The kit and plans will make a good experience for the first-time boat builder. This versatile boat can be paddled, sailed, or rowed with the addition of sliding seat. Most of my boating will probably be paddling, but I would like the option of learning to sail as well. The most useful boat for Middle Georgia will probably be a double-paddled kayak.
Here is the collection of parts as received from CLC Boats:

Here a couple of vintage bricks hold the bilge panels in place while the epoxy cures in the scarf joints:

The two bilge panels are atop each other so that the two sides of the boat will match.

This is going to be a big kayak!

Sewing panels together with copper wire:

The bottom is now sewn to the bilge panels.

This assembly is still very floppy.

Homemade PVC clamps hold the sheer panels in place while the glue cures:

The shear clamps were slightly twisted, so the stern will need some encouragement to line up.

The sheer clamps are glued at the bow and stern, but rest of the boat is still held together with wire stitches.

The glue goes on, and the glass tape disappears.

The hull is glued together and the stiches removed.
