I love the elegance of this photo shared by Lisa, a student of mine who built an F1 in 2018 and is now working her way through ALL of the Cape Falcon designs.
We offer a $75 discount on our plans/video package for anyone who is willing to post a blog of their build on our website. This saves people money, it helps to connect builders to each other, and I get the pleasure of watching people build, which is something I’ve really missed since I stopped teaching in person.
The following text and photos are from Lisa‘s blog which you can find on our website under Student Builds (where she has two others!)

“Hi, my name is Lisa. I am a potter, artist and high school art teacher, originally from St. Louis, MO.
This is my third Cape Falcon build. I have previously built the F1 and West Greenland, which has become my preferred kayak. Sadly, it’s “docked” for the winter since my roll isn’t “iron clad”.
I am not a carpenter, or boat builder. My “shop” setup is rudimentary…circular saw, craigslist table saw, 2 roller stands, a power planer and a router.
Brian’s plans and process make it easy to succeed.
As stated, this is my third build, and has yielded the best, most error free gunwales and deck beams that I have made so far.”
