Kayak looks absolutely perfect! But I’ll not be sure to use it in everyday life because afraid of scratching Kayak by sand, stones, ropes, rocks, etc.

I hadn't thought of heat shrink tubing over the hose clamps. Great idea! Awesome build all the way through.

Outstanding craftsmanship. I’m building my second boat - learning everything from your book and this site. Thanks a million

Another great video resource Nick. Thanks so much for sharing your techniques. What is that you sprayed on the inside of the hatch covers before installing the gasket?

I noticed in a previous video you drilled the attachment points for the foot pegs with a broad countersink bit, then drill them out again in this video after having filled them with epoxy. I assume this is to protect the wood from water infiltration in those holes.

Do you also somehow seal the wood in the holes for deck lines and hatch straps where you've used t-nuts?

Brilliant - I just need to convince the wife _ the I will have to build 2.

Thank you for all your hard work editing and shooting the footage. This is a fantastic resource. One quick question as I start planning my build: Does the Petrel have trouble tracking or weather cocking without the skeg?

Toujours très fan. je suis dans l'attente de mon menuisier pour réglé l'approvisionnement et le découpage des bandes et de son budget?
