The two part polyurethane we use to cover our skin on frame boats is a proprietary formula that is applied wet on wet over the course of about five hours. I also tape off the bottom of the next day and add 2 more coats for more durability. No sanding, no fairing, no refinishing (it actually can’t be recoated). Normal lifespan is about five years of heavy use or 10 to 15 years of normal use before the skin needs to be replaced. . It’s a pretty incredible product that is very abrasion resistant bu

The biggest challenge in being a skin on frame designer is learning how to balance the tension of all the framing members in the boat so you don’t end up with too much rocker or even worse a hogged keel. The same is true for the curves as viewed from above and the shapes of the ribs. . Left to its own devices wood will try to bring back into fair curbs which is why most skin on frame boats build over molds fail. (unless you you’d like a tippy boat with a hogged keel). .

Skin on Frame Shearwater Build, Day 8) 6hrs. More work on the keel. . With the glue on the scarf joints dry, I brought the inner and outer keel assembly outside to do some sanding, and also I used a 45° chamfer bit on a trim router, to create the 1/2” wide flat spot where the brass half oval is going to sit on the bottom of the keel. This is much less stressful than marking and planing by hand, because that dimension has to be exact along the entire length of the keel. I will go back and taper i

For centuries, skin-on-frame kayaks were more than boats - they were lifelines. Built by hand from bone, driftwood, and animal skin, they carried explorers, hunters, and travellers across vast, icy waters. Today, that legacy lives on - in every TRAK® folding kayak. Anyone who’s paddled both a hardshell and a skin-on-frame will tell you there’s something almost alive about it - feeling the water flex beneath your hull, seeing light ripple through the translucent skin, leaning into a stroke and se

Skin on Frame Shearwater Build, Day 6) 6hrs, building the keel assembly, part 1. . With all the laminations finally done, I was able to clear off the layout table and start building the inner/outer keel. This part is taking me a lot longer than it really needs to, but I haven’t done this before so I really don’t want to screw it up. . My track saw worked great to cut the scarf joints and Tom’s dual battery Circular saw cut the keel curve like a hot knife through butter. I’m hoping to get the who

Day 1, Skin on Frame Shearwater build. 5hrs . I can’t tell you how happy I am to be starting a new design project! (unfortunately most of my time is spent doing administrative stuff for the business) I’ve built a handful of rowing and sailing boats in the past but I’ve never been able to quite crack the nut of creating something that is easy to build, light enough to put on a car, and performs really well on the water. 3 out of 3, easy. 3 out of 3 not so much. . For any design project it’s alway

I LOVE tenkara fishing these tiny mountain lakes from my pedal drive skin on frame canoe. it's so addictingly peaceful I wish I could get out here more often. A bit of a challenge to bring in a decent size fish but it's a lot of fun anyways. #tenkara #skinonframe #canoefishing | Cape Falcon Kayak

Skin on Frame Shearwater build, Day 4) 3 hrs . After cleaning up the inner stems with a power planer and squaring the front face, I put a strip of packing tape on the front curve to prevent adhesion and then cut up some beautiful lightweight mahogany (who knows what this actually is?) and laminated it to the inner stems to create the outer stems. For this lamination, I used a quarter inch thick backing strip of high density polyethylene. I also also did an experiment comparing the smooth HDPE to

Skin on Frame Shearwater build, Day 5) 2hrs . Nothing terribly exciting here today. Just spent a couple hours sorting through lumber and cutting it into strips then cutting tapers, then gluing it up into longer lumber for the gunwales and the upper stringer. For these particular joints, I thickened the epoxy to about the texture of mayonnaise with cab o sill. I would rather be gluing up a different dimension of wood right now, but these are what I was able to make out of what I had. . . . wooden

The point of no return 😅 The skin is make from ballistic nylon supplied by Corey at the Skin Boat Store. When wet, it relaxes allowing it to be stretched over the frame. It then dries drum tight. When it is fully dry, multiple layers of eurethane will be applied to make it watertight and scratch resistant. The canoe is based on the 66 canoe system from @cape falcon kayak I would highly recommend it 🛶❤️ The scissors are by Ernest Wright of Sheffield - they zoomed through the tough ballistic nyl
