                  hard-chine, V-bottom design provides excellent tracking and edged turns while maintaining good speed and stability. Our 
                  design refinements go far beyond replica Greenland kayaks to create neutral handling characteristics and advanced safety 
                  features. 
                  
  
                  
                    Billington Sea Kayak - Welcome to our 25th year in business! Billington Sea Kayak began as a 
                  tiny shop tucked way off the beaten track on Billington Sea in Plymouth, MA selling two brands of canoes and one brand of 
                  kayaks. Billington Sea is a 269 acre pond located about 1 ˝ miles from the center of Plymouth.  We still are a small shop 
                  on Billington Sea.  The difference now is that we offer approximately different 90 models of canoes and kayaks from 17 
                  manufacturers.

                    Kudzu Craft - Lightweight Skin on Frame Boats -  
                  You can build your own 32-lb boat for $300 to $400 in materials! My boats are based on methods that have been proven over thousands 
                  of years but using modern materials. Boat frames are built fuselage style, much like airplane construction. The frames are marine 
                  plywood and the stringers are made from lightweight woods lashed together with artificial sinew. A synthetic fabric skin is sewn 
                  over the frame, shrunk, waterproofed and it becomes a structural member of the boat. This makes an extremely strong, durable and lightweight boat. 
                 
  
                 
                    Long Haul Folding Kayaks - The World's Finest -  
                  Our kayaks consist of two major subassemblies, the frame and the hull. The frame of all Mk I, MK II, and Commando kayaks consist of marine grade 
                  laminate, white birch plywood, and hardwood ash stringers with stainless steel fittings. All wood-to-wood joints are assembled with marine grade 
                  epoxy and riveted for reinforcement where necessary. The hull is manufactured from 
                  CSM poly fabric rubber compound. The deck is sewn to the hull and consists of either a high quality traditional breathable cotton or modern hi tech 
                  Sea Mark® fabric.  
                  Our boats are designed for extended expeditions away from civilization. The materials and design techniques used create a vessel that not only is 
                  capable of absorbing demanding punishment, but is also easily repairable in the field. Barring a catastrophic collision most, if any, field repairs 
                  will consist of applying a patch to the rubber hull. In case of a rare frame fracture a splint will usually be quite adequate. Of course spare parts 
                  are available from us.
                 
  
               
                
                 
                    Maine Island Trail Association - 
                  Established in 1987, the Maine Island Trail Association is a membership organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the wild 
                  islands of coastal Maine. With 191 trail sites and over two decades of community-building, stewardship and education, the organization developed 
                  a model of sustainable recreation while creating America’s first recreational water trail. The 375-mile waterway extends from the New Hampshire 
                  border to Machias Bay. MITA was founded on the belief that recreational visitors can and should serve as stewards of Maine's 
                  wild islands. From its inception, MITA has fostered a community of volunteer boaters and island users who monitor conditions on the 
                  Trail, participate in island clean-ups and other work projects, track recreational use of Trail properties, and spread the word about 
                  environment-friendly low-impact practices. Current members enjoy access to Trail properties for day use or overnight visits in return for 
                  observing low-impact techniques as outlined in MITA's annual 250-page Trail guide.
