Day 6 - covering the kayaks

Finally, the day for covering the kayaks came. To some, this is a sad moment, where all the beautiful woodwork becomes hidden to us. To me, This is the time where the kayak steps out of the shadows :). Beautiful shapes appear.


Jørn, here is from Oslo. He normally works a IT project manager and loves to paddle. Like our Swedish friends, he builds a small Greenland style kayak, suitable for rolling and playing. He chose to cover his kayak with polyester/nylon fabric, to keep it as light as possible.


Frames in different stages of covering rest while we take coffee in the kitchen.


More cover is put on - both canvas and polyester/nylon.


Yesterday, coamings were sanded and hung out for varnishing.


Slow and silent work here, today. The kayak in the middle is not a kayak, but My girlfriend Jannies new canvas covered stand up paddle board :).
