West Greenland Kayak Build Time Lapse 6: Adding foredeck stringers, cleaning up and oiling the frame. Total build time so far, about 28 hours.
The time lapse is back, don’t miss the music here! Scroll back to the October 16 post to see the beginning of this series.
It’s pretty obvious what’s happening in this video but I will mention that the Masik (the wide deck beam at the front of the cockpit) to deck stringer joint is not traditional. Originally the stringers would have sat on a lower deck beam directly forward of the Masik, but I find this particular arrangement to be so much more comfortable that is one of the few places that I’m willing to significantly deviate from the original framing.
