Tern 14 kayak update

Whew, it’s been a while since I’ve added any information. I didn’t do much work on the boat during the summer. We were pretty busy and the longer daylight hours meant that I spent a lot more time in the evenings playing with the kids in the park and at the beach. I was pretty tired at the end of those days.

The progress I’ve made includes: 1. sanding the hull and deck to a flat finish prior to applying the polyurethane (almost finished) 2. glued the coaming spacer in place 3. laminated the coaming and cut it to fit on the spacer 4. 1/2 through making some wooden kayak cradles for the car roof rack

The gallery photos describe a bit more detail of the most recent building process, check them out if you’re interested.

The next steps will be to do a light sanding with 220grit paper, cut out the hatches and glue in the hatch lips and bulkheads, and then apply the polyurethane. Then it’ll be done!
