S&G: Moving along nicely now...hulls almost completed..

The link takes you to photos and commentary regarding the construction of the two Waters Dancing Solaces Keith and I are working on. His is a Solace 17EX and Linda's kayak is a Solace 16EX. Interestingly, we are still working with the first of two gallons of epoxy and will have the hulls completely done in short order. I'd say that the final weight of both kayaks is going to come out relatively light compared to what it would have been had we used glass sheeting instead of tapes. I was hoping to have the hulls completed by today but I managed to injure my wrist last week (ganglion formed now) and the project has lost some of its priority while I do physio to make it better. That said, the decks should be permanently attached within a week from today, assuming I can convince Linda to do the art work on her decks in good time.
