Building Petrel Play SG - The Continued Challenge of Recessed Hatches - E9
In this video, Nick Schade and Bill are building the Petrel Play SG Stitch and glue sea kayak kit from Chesapeake Light Craft. The focus is on continued assembly of the deck and installing the hatch and cockpit recesses. They emphasize the importance of creating a recessed hatch to keep the kayak dry and maintain the boat's sleek look. Throughout the process, they encounter challenges, such as ensuring the panels fit tightly, but they remain committed to creating a high-performance kayak.
