Ted is the author of Canoecraft, one of the top books on
strip-building canoes. Kayakcraft covers four Steve Killing designs, including the 17'
Endeavour. Also included in the book are lines and offsets for
a 14' sport kayak, a 16'6" touring kayak, and a 20'6" tandem kayak.

If you have ever built a strip canoe, you'll want this book for
the designs as well as the additional techniques for making the
cockpit coaming, hatches, and decking. And, if you already have
some of the building skills, getting the low-down from a builder
whose work hangs in museums is likely to improve your own technique
a notch or two.
