I have flipped the hull again and sanded up to 120 grit, ready for glassing. The deck has had to be put out of the way, and is a bit precarious balanced on top of the drill press!
I have stopped obsessing, and have ordered the kit from Fyne Boats. My garage is just long enough for the build (I hope), and the garden shed is just big enough to accommodate the completed kayak (I hope). The finished craft should look something like the photo.
All the panels wired together and ends of the sheer camps glued. Mistake 2...I trimmed these before making sure that the beam was the correct 33 inches, so had to make a couple of small wedges to infill. I also had to take the table off my bandsaw to make enough room... I had some fun with time lapse on my phone too...
The hatch is now pretty much done, and I have installed a rear bulkhead. The only significant work remaining is the seating and the finishing process (lots of sanding and then varnishing). Here is a current view from the bow and stern of the boat.
