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

First coat of paint
Last night we finished the first coat of paint on the hull of the kayak. The paint soaked right through the canvas and it still feels tacky over the fiberglass parts. We will be doing the second coat today once the sun warms the air. The temperature dropped to 8°C or 46°F last night so it might be a while before it is warm enough outside.
