Well, it’s been a long 7 months, over 450 hours invested. I’m happy to report that the kayaks are almost ready to go. The last coat of varnish is nicely curing. A few more small details need to be attended to, such as hatches, end pour, mounting the seats, varnishing the paddles. Still waiting for that darn rudder to arrive (come on hurry up guys. I know your watching). We are planning on a quick 100 km run down the river in a few weeks to test them out. Can’t wait to get them wet.

Thanks to all of you, who contribute to this board, your help has been invaluable.
