Wood Duck 10
Designed by Eric Schade
A 10 ft recreational kayak designed by Eric Schade for Chesapeake Light Craft, the smallest adult boat in the Wood Duck line. It is stitch-and-glue okoume plywood glassed inside and out, 30 in wide and about 36 lb, with a 38 in cockpit, a rear hatch and a 250 lb payload for paddlers up to about 200 lb. CLC stresses how easily a short, light boat gets launched. Kits come with an okoume or sapele deck, and plans are sold.
Among CLC's easiest kits, with puzzle joints and pre-drilled stitch holes, and rated beginner. CLC's estimate is 80 hours; budget 60 to 100. Measured medians from build logs appear below.
What building a Wood Duck 10 actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
