Hi

Kayak building is going out of threat, but I hope it´s ok to all?
I am going to have whale on back and shark on top :

Image

My idea is to avoid stitches on building and pre make parts as mutch as possible before assemblly ply panels. The kayak shoud be good enough for my purpose.

So I am going to reduce ply panels - flat bottom and curved deck panels - can be made from one ply - no seam on kayaks lengt directions. No stiches are used - panels are glued to bulkheads and framing and hold together with ducktape while adding glasstape.

Most kayak designs don´t have plans for backrest, hatches and footbraces."BAnana sharks" backrest is removable and works as hatch to storage.

Perttu this is an unbelievable build I love all the ideas cant wait for more . Your an inspiration to what can be done with a little creative thought t5he sky's the limit or is it... you have inspired me to at least consider converting my trailer build into a boat build or is it my boat build into a trailer build regardless of the way it is Excellent job :thumbsup: :applause: :thumbsup: :applause:

Hi and thanks for your kind words!

I am having a short pause of trailer build and give some focus to finish my kayak. I always take too many projects.... It should be ready in some weeks - just finishing and painting...( just..)

I hope I will have the trailer ready to begin of June. We will go summer holiday trip with it on end of June - round lake Saimaa. Hoping to do some water trip too - if it´s good enough on water. I will write story with photos of the trip and film some video to youtube.

I change the ladder design, because I need the the trailers chassis to transport another boats. So I drew foldable ladders wfom wood.
