Pygmy Manuals

Advice
#1

I’m toying around with the idea of building a Pygmy kayak. I have their catalog and I’ve been to their web site but I’d really like to see a complete manual for one before jumping into this project. Has anyone found a manual online? I don’t care which model it is. I just want to see the step by step procedures.

#2

I have one
I built an Osprey Standard years ago and I think I can lay my hands on it. As I remember it runs to quite a few pages. I’m not aware of an online source. Send me a PM. I will look for it. Perhaps I could mail it to you if you send it back after you read through it.

You can get more feedback from the kayak building bulletin board, probably links to several diaries:

Also
I remembered that Pygmy has a building page. At the bottom there are links to various builders logs:

And CLC has a page as well:

Pygmies don’t use manuals. Oral
tradition only.
