Chesapeake Light Craft captured this time lapse video of building the Petrel SG and Petrel Play SG back in a class I taught down at their Annapolis shop. We started out with a bare kit which is just a pile of CNC cut pieces of plywood and after the end of five and half days the students walk out with a fully assembled kayak ready for finish work.
Every year, kayak enthusiasts from all over come together at Bluff Point State Park in Groton, Connecticut, for a free and open event. It’s a great place to learn about different kayak designs and techniques, and it’s perfect for beginners and even those who are just starting to paddle.
