AirKayaks.com: Single or Double Spray Decks for Advanced Elements Convertible Kayak

October 31st, 2011 |

Expand the versatility of your Advanced Elements convertible kayak with the optional single or double spray decks. The spray decks convert your Convertible kayak from an open-deck design to an enclosed two seater with the double deck, or an enclosed one seater with the single deck. The deck system keeps water and wind out during chilly or inclement weather. The coaming tubes allow you to attach optional spray skirts for even more protection from the elements. The spray decks are made of the same rugged nylon ripstop material as the Convertible. At Airkayaks, we’re always happy to answer any questions.

njord building strip kayak bulkhead and seat sept 19 2010.wmv

October 31st, 2011 |

In my Cape Ann kayak, I did the bulkhead of plywood. After some years the wood has been rotted. I used usual silicone to attach and to seal it. It also didn’t last for long. Now I decided to do the bulkhead from Fiberglass, and to use epoxy instead of the silicone. It is much better, and also saves a lot of weight. Instead of pedals, I will install a wood board adjacent to the bulkhead. It will be my private kayak. and there is no need for adjustable pedals. It will save like half kilo which is a lot, and I think it will be more comfortable than the industrial pedals. The seat is manufacture of closed cell foam. Actually it is 8 layers of a camping matress glued by contact glue. I use a right angel disk with 60 grit sanding paper to shape it. When I finish to shape, I use 100 grit to achieve more delicate finish.
