Bill and I finish the assembly of the deck, including installing the hatch and cockpit recesses on the Petrel Play SG kayak. We are building the Petrel Play SG kayak design from a kit by Chesapeake Light Craft (CLCBoats.com) bit.ly/3uRnqzA. In this series, Nick and Bill are building a kayak kit from Chesapeake Light Craft. The focus of this episode is on assembling the deck, particularly the front hatch recess. They discuss the challenges of fitting the hatches, the importance of achieving a flat surface, and the reasoning behind the design choices. The process involves stitching the panels together, addressing bevel angles, and making adjustments for a snug fit. The episode concludes with plans for the next steps, including tweaking alignment, spot welding, filling, and glassing the deck in the upcoming episodes.
