The Aleutian Kayak: Origins, Construction, and Use of the Traditional
Seagoing Baidarka
by Wolfgang Brinck
For true traditionalists, here are the first complete plans and detailed
building instructions for authentic Aleutian Kyak--the ancient voyaging
and hunting craft of the nomadic Unangan of Alaska. Based on originals
in museums in Oregon and California, these lightweight (35 Pounds, 17 feet
long) skin-on-frame sea kayaks can be built to fit the owner's exact dimensions,
using simple hand tools and readily obtainable materials, for less than
$200, including paddles, spray skirt, and traditional paddling jacket.
Known as Baidarkas among the Russian settlers of Alaska, these unique native
American craft evolved over centuries to carry heavy loads swiftly over
long distances in wind and wave--ideal for modern sea kayakers looking
for an alternative to plastic replicas of short-range Greenland-style boats.
