Petes stern after *Pic*

Attached is my guillemot s&g stern when it was all said and done. Nothing that a bit of smoke and mirrors couldn't sort out in the end - well at least I reckon :)

Like Nick says, don't sweat the small details.

Like I reckon, pursuit of perfection could drive you nuts and lead to the needless destruction of good ply. At the end of the day are we not all trying to end up with a fully functional kayak and not a cabinet. As long as it is sound and strong and floats .... what do you really really need?

Good luck

Pete
