The "Outer Island" kayak was designed by Jay Babina. The plans can be ordered fromhttp://www.outer-island.com/Plans.html

In addition to the plans and booklet that Jay sends out, I also found the below sources of information very helpful:

"The Strip-Built Sea Kayak" by Nick Schade. A comprehensive book on the strip building process.

"Ocean Kayak" by Vaclav Stejskal. Vaclav has some cool methods and tricks, He was also kind enough to provide very detailed answers to my emailed questions.

http://www.kayakforum.com A great resource of some very experienced builders. The people here are friendly and helpful.

http://www.redfishkayak.com/ Joe Greenley is a professional in the strip building process. In addition to kayaks, he sells supplies and (like Vaclav) was very generous with information. I would encourage people to buy materials from Joe.
