The Cape Charles


I started this a few years ago and I am finally getting it finished.

The construction style is called 'stitch and glue' where no frames or jigs are needed. I had the kayak to this point a while back but hadn't had the funds to finish it.

She's 18 feet long, will weight about 50 pounds and is designed to pack a minimum paddle weight of 190 pounds - That I am.

The picture here is just after it had been sealed with resin before the Fiberglas cloth. The picture is also upside down as the kayak is hanging from the roof beams.

Body Work


After three years of trying, I finally got the registration papers for this little Bronco I picked up.

Now that I 'own' it, I don't feel like I'm waisting my time working on it. This is an on going thing when I have the extra time and money, but hope to have this vehicle on the road this summer.

The running gear seems to be in good working order but her body was a little ruff. Not that I know what I'm doing so well, but I figured I can get her back to a whole body at least.

Projects

Here are a few of Mark's projects.

Stabalizer Wings

First these molds are made for the figerglass stabalizer wings used on commercial boats.








These are the finished fiberglass shells before being filled with foam and lead. They are then capped and sealed before installation on given vessel. Sorry no current shots of finished product.










Here is one of Marks past projects:

This boat did not look this good before he got his hands on it.
