Coaming epoxied to the riser
I got the coaming epoxied to the riser, sanded, and sealed. Ready for glass which should happen tomorrow. Also on the completed list is the hatch flange built, but needs sanding and a bit of filling in of some voids prior to installing in the hatch hole. I built the hatch small since this will not be a kayak for touring, but for short day trips and exercise. The smaller hatch is easier to keep water tight. The front bulkhead has been final fit but needs to be glassed in place in the hull (easier now than when the two halves are joined.) After the join, I can seal and glass the deck to bulkhead area. Here’s a picture of the coaming, not as perfect as I would have liked, but the little faults are only visible to me and a few discerning observers. As usual, click on the picture for more if you like.
P.S. A big Thank You to all 200 of you that visited yesterday, that was the most visitors in one day so far!
