When Brandon Davis designed the Scout 14, he tried out a new molded carbon seat design. It has adjustable knobs so it can easily be clamped into place, but still can be removed on the fly. He's now including this upgraded seat as a standard part of the Scout 10 and 14 kits ordered from Duckworks!

At the Seattle Boat Show 2024, we assembled a 10' Scout Sailing Dinghy Kit over the 9 days of the show! This is a great project for first-time boatbuilders, especially for families to build and enjoy together. Check out our timelapse of how this boat comes together, and get inspired to build your own!

The Portage Pram kit from Duckworks is a great family project! Duckworks manager Scott Jones brought his youngest daughter Aurelia and his dog Cosmos along to help put together a Portage Pram kit (that we're using as our demo at boat shows)! Learn more and shop Portage Pram: https://duckworks.com/portage-pram/ We filmed the entire project to use as a tutorial, not only for how to assemble the Portage Pram, but to give a helpful video overview of some boatbuilding basics that every aspiring boatbuilder should know. In this first installment, Scott and Aurelia unbox the Portage Pram and go through some important preparatory steps to make sure the project is a success. Subscribe to follow along with the entire build!

The Scout is a wide, stable, 10-foot kit boat that's a blast to sail and row. Weighs only ~70 pounds and makes a great tender, yet has enough dry stowage below deck to take on a beach camping trip of its own. Available as a kit boat exclusively from Duckworks.com.
