Please post book info, videos or websites that have good info on building
boats like Kayaks or Canoes (Surfskis or Outriggers too Smile) with
fiberglass, kevlar or carbon fiber using the epoxy vacuum bagg methods in
use today for light weight strong boats. Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks,

Charlie Wallbridge's "Boatbuilder's Manual" is considered the standard
text in the field. It's been out of print for a while, but you can
usually find used copies on Amazon or Ebay. Although it's geared toward
building whitewater boats, the construction methods are equally
applicable to touring and racing boats.

Excellent book - for out-of-print books, also try <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.abe.com." target="_blank">www.abe.com.</a>

Check out the Composite Fabricator's Association, which now appears to
be called the American Composite Manufacturer's Association for lots
of good info and composites in general.
