Stitch-and-Glue or Strip-Planking:
The Art of Boat Building Video Series

We are delighted to partner with Bob Emser and his YouTube channel, The Art of Boat Building.

This step-by-step series will document the construction of two boats: a Wood Duck stitch-and-glue kayak and a Little Auk 11 strip-planked kayak, providing a side-by-side comparison of these broadly different boatbuilding techniques.

Over several months, weekly video updates will guide viewers through each phase of the builds. Dedicated playlists for each kayak make it easy to follow along and revisit key steps.

This series makes boatbuilding more accessible and inspiring for all skill levels. Follow The Art of Boat Building on YouTube and Chesapeake Light Craft for updates on this exciting project!
