Cape Falcon Kayak

Cape Falcon Kayak

3 роки тому

In this visual overview of the skin on frame kayak building process we construct our West Greenland kayak design. Only slightly adapted from the original museum kayak, I've chosen to focus on this particular kayak over the years because it is surprisingly user friendly compared to most true arctic hunting kayaks. Historic kayaks add richness and diversity to my paddling lifestyle and constantly inform my modern skin on frame kayak design work.
Plans and video instruction on how to build this boat are available at cape-falcon-kayak.thinkific.com/
A quick note, Due to COVID I wasn't able to get video of the kayak in the video on the water, so I tacked on an edit from a rolling session a few years ago. Enjoy!

My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. ukposts.infoUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!

My first SOF Kayak was a resurrection of a "Crossbreed" originally made in New Brunswick, Canada. Learned so much just from this video, I am likely to try another SOF Kayak in the future. The kayak rolls we breath taking and executed at a level and calmness that made me watch that segment over and over.

WOW! What an absolutely gorgeous kayak; in 1924, when my Dad was just 20 years old, he was offered the position of Wireless Operator on a Canadian Government Expedition aboard the CGS Arctic, a sail AND coal powered wooden ship that was mastered by Captain Joseph E. Bernier, a venerable and long time explorer on behalf of Canada. During the 3 month trip my Dad got a chance to try out an Inuit-made kayak, exactly like your kayak, at Pond Inlet and after his successful paddle he was presented with a beautiful hand-made 26" model with all the fittings, which I now cherish in memory of his trip......he LOVED the Far North!

What mastery. Thank you for sharing this video. I made a Chesapeake Bay 17 foot kayak out of stitched lauan plywood and epoxied fibreglass in 1998 but yours is a true tribute to the Inuit people who invented kayaks for hunting to survive. Your West Greenland model is the finest I have seen retaining most of the original traditional methods of building the frame and skinning it albeit with modern fibreglass instead of seal skin. You tinted the fibreglass to resemble the seal skin and sized it to fit you like a glove. Your rolling the kayak was truly awesome and almost artistic. And your pants were dry when you got out. How perfect is that.

Mais ,il sera solide car vous utilisez du tissu de verre de la résine et du rowing etc. .vous avez effectué un excellent travail une fois fini .à partager avec tous les personnes qui pratiquent du canoé.
