Skin on Kayak

[PatrickM]

Thanks for the kind comments folks.

With much trepidation, considering the 1000+ stitch holes in her, I finally managed to get the Selkie and myself on the water.
I was absolutely delighted that not one single drop of water passed through to the kayak interior.
I'm really happy to say that she feels very light in the water, she's fast and stable and tracks well.
More sea trials next week, then the adventures begin!

Okay, you've done some superb things before.

This though, is a new high bar for anyone.

Amazing project - thank you for sharing.

As said. So much respect. Great to try, amazing to put so much into it, but outstanding to see it in the water and know it works so well.

My word but that looks good! I like the trad "Greenlander" paddle as well.
I have long admired your work but this is a new level of excellence, style and craftsmanship!
