I keep toying with the idea of building one. Perhaps we ought to organise a canoe-building weekend.

Not that hard. Though time is another issue.

It's the second one on this page that I have a desire to make. Would be great for camping trips.

a couple of hours training and common sense will help but they are fairly easy ,not as naughty as rowing boats or coracles

think a lot of it is to play about on some safe water before venturing out a mile offshore

i have never understood why rowing 180 degrees to the way you are looking is sensible
paddling is the way forward in owt smaller than a gig with a helmsman

canoe/kayak at sea is different to pond or river (some rivers can be interesting)

i quite want to tour some of west scotland by kayak,recon the mutts can do the kate winslet thing at the front

Thats a good price - even if bought at the buy it now price.

I have an Ocean Scupper Pro Angler for sale at present for more than that, and the tarpon is more expensive to buy new.

Kayak fishing on the sea is a very different kettle of fish than on a lake or river. I have been kayak fishing on the sea for just over 4 years and am happy to take anyone out for some safety practice and to show them the dos and donts.

There is a safe practice lake a few miles from here which is available most days, and plenty of safe beaches with no major tidal races to practice off. Happy to help any beginners that want to bring their kayaks over to west Wales, and self catering or B and B accommodation also available.
