: Hi Michael
: Thanks for your comments. Meant to say its 4.4m x 53cm (15ft4in x
: 22in)
: I dont know the final weight but the frame weighed 8.0 kg when
: finished so some of that would be included in a stitch and glue
: equivelent and
: its probably 6 - 6.5 kg penalty considering the gunwalds would be
: needed plus the fiberglass for the joins.
: I suspect its about 18kg all up.
: Incidently I had the use of peelply suggested so tried that but
: wouldnt use it again. Maybe I should have used more epoxy. I
: laid it across the hull.
: The frames are 8mm and the bow and stern sections are 12mm ply.
: I used oakum for the deck as felt the 4mm pinus ply wouldnt bend
: through the curve.
: The frames ,bow and stern sections are as created in Kayak Foundry
: in terms of gunwald,waterline and the only change I made was a
: slight
: increase in the angle of the bow segment to avoid a 'droop nose'.
: Cheers

Btw, I know I'm being picky, but it's gunwale.
