| Just
prior to Xmas 2006 we completed a
Chesapeake 17 kayak for Paul Connor,
Sydney. Paul originally purchased a CH17
kit over 2 years ago, and due to
business and family commitments Paul
never found the time to undertake the
build. Paul approached Capeboatworks to
build the Chesapeake 17 for him.
Paul's
only specification was that the Deck be
painted for visibility on busy Sydney
Harbour. Paul didn't want to be run over
by one of the harbour ferries etc.
The
deck was painted in 2pack Norglass.
Colour Pearl. Three coats of Norglass
2pack undercoat were applied with 3
topcoats.
The
hull was epoxy coated and then 6 coats
of Norglass 2pack Varnish were applied.
As
usual, we were too busy to take photos of
the build. Truth is, I always forget to
bring the camera.
We
added a Mahogany Rubbing Strip to the
kayak as can be seen from the photos.
