    Could a small boat be purchased or built for a dog to sail himself?

    I have a friend with a small pond. I would like to know if a boat couls be built ofr purchased for the dog to be trained to get into the boat and sail himself around. Also it would be neat if we could take over from the shore, and speed him all around, doing donuts and scarring the chil dren or such. It would be like a 3 foot boat with room for the dog, a way to steer, and all the radio equipment. We would also want to put a little doggie Captain’s hat on him.

      Does anyone have plans or know where to get them to build a small boat out of plastic wood?

      Where can I find boat building plans with complete full sized patterns for a 1st time small boat builder?

      I’ve never built a boat and am NOT a handy person. I’d really like to build a small row boat or a boat that I can put a small motor on. It has to be very easy to build–cut, screw, tape, paint–plus cheap! I need Full Sized Patterns for the complete small boat- not just the hull. I have done some research but can’t find it. It can’t be any longer then 8′ and 7′ would be better. Needs a flat bottom. No more then 3 sheets of plywood to build but 2 would be better. I want to learn how to build a boat but a simple one. I want to spend some time with my dad. Thanks, from an older woman.

        Is building a small boat ,like a kayak, really that hard using the stitch and glue method?

        the question really says it all, i don’t have much woodworking experience, but im a fast learner, but i would need a form of learning, aka, detailed instructions. where would i find instructions, and plans, is it really worth buying plans? if so, who’s plans are the best? any informatino would be helpful
        what about kits? any good? worth the $$, they seem expensive
