Building the PBK 18 Kayak

This Blog records to some detail -- from start to finish -- the building of a PBK18 kayak during the month of August in 2010. It is based on a set of plans purchased in the late 60s; is simple to build from wood, glue, screws and canvas, but does require some carpentry skills. A number of products and processes were substituted and this is documented and is based on experience from a build in 1974 also posted in the beginning of this blog. Enjoy - pbk18.builder@gmail.com

Sexy Girl

During our shopping yesterday we picked up some paint for the boat. Schuyler wanted a bright orange colour and at the paint store he chose a nondescript colour swatch off the wall. The store agent proceeded to add colours and mix the paint which turned out to be quite a brilliant orange.

When we arrived home we looked a the paint can more closely and noticed a label stuck to the side with the particulars of this paint and the name of the choice of colour which was Sexy Girl.
