Queen Charlotte overhaul

In the shop at the moment is a refinishing project for a 25 year old stitch and glue kayak. This is a Pygmy kit boat that was constructed over 25 years ago. The original design was to only have strips of fiberglass on the inside with a full cover on the outside. The boat received some damage and the plywood did split along one side. The rudder system broke loose from the aft end poor as well.



I have the hardware taken off and repairs are underway. the damage to the aft end is repaired with thickened epoxy poured into the void and will be re-drilled for the rudder. The rest of the boat is ready for another layer of glass, sanded and prepped..
