John Parry and Steinar Gustavsen founded High Sea
Kayaks in 2009, after many years of building and paddling strip
built kayaks. The idea was simple; to demystify the
dark art of strip building so that everyone, regardless of their
boatbuilding experience, could enjoy it. |

Strip Built Kayaks - the ultimate complete construction guide
A complete illustrated guide
to the technique of strip building kayaks,
covering every aspect from building the jig and the forms, information
about tools and materials, cutting strips, construction schedules,
working the epoxy, and invaluable information about constructing
hatches, bulkheads, adjustable footrests and cockpit surrounds.
This book combines Steinar Gustavsen's eleven years of
strip building experience with John Parry's text, illustrations and
photographs and covers the entire building process, in logical steps,
from beginning to end. There is no greater satisfaction
than that of paddling your own individually tailored craft, built with
your own hands.

"North Sea"
- drawings and form templates for an ocean going touring kayak
High Sea Kayaks’ North Sea is a stable and comfortable ocean
going and touring kayak that is capable of weathering rough seas with ease, or
is equally at home on rivers and lakes. Despite its size and
exceptional stability, this kayak is still capable of a good speed and
manoeuvrability. It has a high load capacity which makes it ideal for carrying
camping and sporting equipment. This design is the culmination of over a decade
of development.

"Harpoon"
- drawings and form templates for a
fast, light
kayak
High Sea Kayaks’ Harpoon is a light, fast and
highly manoeuvrable craft that still maintains excellent stability and
a surprisingly high load carrying capacity. It is large
and stable, yet can be carried easily by one person, making it ideal
for smaller waterways where portaging (lifting) is necessary.
This is the perfect kayak for inland waterways, from rivers to large
lakes, as it is a highly capable, strong and safe craft that manages
to perfectly encapsulate the freedom that comes with paddling a kayak.
