Nick, this has been quite a learning lesson pack on your Art , and everybody who has watched the whole process, must have learned a whole deal of out of it, now I,m sure there,ll be a lot of your followers trying their hands on a project in the coming year. We can only be grateful for your generosity and patience making thes videos available for us all. Thanks for sharing your work and wish you a safe paddling season. John, Montreal
Another great video resource Nick. Thanks so much for sharing your techniques. What is that you sprayed on the inside of the hatch covers before installing the gasket?
I noticed in a previous video you drilled the attachment points for the foot pegs with a broad countersink bit, then drill them out again in this video after having filled them with epoxy. I assume this is to protect the wood from water infiltration in those holes. Do you also somehow seal the wood in the holes for deck lines and hatch straps where you've used t-nuts?
Thank you for all your hard work editing and shooting the footage. This is a fantastic resource. One quick question as I start planning my build: Does the Petrel have trouble tracking or weather cocking without the skeg?
Most of my designs will turn off a bit if you stop paddling, but they are well balanced so they are easy to keep going straight while paddling. I didn't add skegs to my boats until I built the first Petrel. While I don't think it needs it, the skeg is a nice added dimension of control.
@@NickSchade Thanks for your reply. I've paddled some kayaks where you're constantly edging or correcting your stroke if there's a quartering wind. It's exhausting! If this isn't necessary, I'll leave it out of my first build.
A Master Craftsman's Creation!
I've enjoyed watching every second of your craftsmanship.
Thank you.

This came out great. Good job man
Always love to see a new Nick Schade video. Thanks, Nick
I hadn't thought of heat shrink tubing over the hose clamps. Great idea! Awesome build all the way through.
Kayak looks absolutely perfect! But I’ll not be sure to use it in everyday life because afraid of scratching Kayak by sand, stones, ropes, rocks, etc.
Outstanding craftsmanship. I’m building my second boat - learning everything from your book and this site. Thanks a million
As always, inspiring! Thanks for sharing, that’s impressive skills and a beautiful boat!
Amazing and beautiful!
The hog ring bungee with heat shrink is awesome
Yet another beautiful build!
Another great installment! What is the control cable for the skegs??

Toujours très fan. je suis dans l'attente de mon menuisier pour réglé l'approvisionnement et le découpage des bandes et de son budget?
Brilliant - I just need to convince the wife _ the I will have to build 2.
What’s to say but WOW!
