This year should be pretty exciting. I am now offering any design to be built in any class which means that all dates are open for any kayak. In 2009 I will be offering the F1, a West Greenland replica kayak, an East Greenland replica kayak, a new hybrid surf/sea kayak, and racing kayak. Also, this year all kayaks can be proportionately scaled up or down to fit the user, even replica kayaks! What this means is that in any class you will have five different kayaks to choose from, customized to fit your size. Each person builds a paddle as well, included in the cost of the class.

Delmarva Paddlers Retreat, which occurs from thursday Oct 1st to Sunday October 4th and overlaps my kayak building class at Camp Arrowhead (lewes, delaware) from Saturday September 26th to October 2nd. The price of my class is $1300 dollars, which is a hundred dollars more than what I charge here at home, but is still nowhere near defraying travel and shipping costs. I try to keep things affordable! That money pays for all materials and supplies for your kayak and a greenland paddle. Sprayskirts and flotation bags are offered separately. This money will be paid to me directly and I need a deposit of $600. Cost of accomodations at camp arrowhead for the week is as follows
to participate in the class you must purchase accomodations for the week and the first part of Delmarva, a total of $350 dollars. If you wish to attend the weekend paddling retreat (which I highly reccommend), that will be an additional $250. It is your choice but you must decide prior to arrival. Accomodations and retreat fees will be managed directly through the Delmarva website.

Just so you know, the cabin we will be staying in does have cooking facilities. Other than that, well, pack like you are going to a summer camp.
There is a small list of hand tools you can find on my course introduction, all information in the course introduction is accurate except when contradicted in this email.

Other than that, I think we're all set, you can direct any questions about the class to me and any questions about the accomodations to Ed Zachowski, who's email is in the header of this email.
One last thing, this class is much easier if I can make it eight days instead of seven, and there is a lot more freedom for prototyping and custom stuff, so I'll be talking to Ed and asking the camp if we can begin on friday.
