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.
