Skin on Frame Construction

The original kayaks were built by the Inuit and Aleut "Eskimo" peoples of the Arctic.
Based on the traditional construction method of the original Inuit kayaks and other indigenous boats, these boats have a lightweight frame covered with thin, sealed fabric. This is a quick and fun way to make a very lightweight yet durable small boat.
