The kayak looks like it's in good shape but it does have some scratches and scrapes from use on the maine coast, plus keel wear at the bow and stern from being beached or dragged. the stern wear appears to go completely through the fiberglass at its worst point.. Or build the petrel sg - a stitch and glue sea kayak. you can build a nice little dinghy. buy plans and instructions to make a wooden boat. kayak forum; events; what's new; search; build your own boat: browse our kayak plans. canoe plans. rowing boat and dinghy plans. build a canoe or kayak in class.. Jarhead, while a properly cut stitch and glue kit is well within the reach of someone with basic carpentry and epoxy experience, with a kayak, you don't get a second chance for some of the steps after the resin sets up..
Re: repairs on a stitch and glue kayak your plan should work, but make sure the paper is stiff enough not to collapse. alternatively, tape over the holes you have drilled, pour your plug, remove the tape, and re-drill another hole through the epoxy.. The stitch and glue method worked quite well and was a fast way to build. i made mine out of the recommended okoume marine plywood in the different thicknesses. i painted the bottom and sides a forest green and left the topside natural with a nice stain.. Home boat design forums > design > boat design > stitch and glue + - discussion in 'boat design' started by william c. wins, dec 29, 2011. this would not really allow sticth and glue at the deck line. this would be for a trimaran or cat. probably someone has done this already and i could just copy..
