Люблю Шрайки. Сделано хорошо. Долго не мог понять, почему делаются такие толстые переборки? Каяк - разборный!, для многих такая конструкция актуальна. Респект! Привет с Сахалина, Россия ✌
Hi all, thank you for all the kind words. Just an update for your reference if you plan to build a sectional kayak. I have previously experienced a failure of the aft bulkhead glue joint at the cockpit section while paddling on choppy conditions. I have since replaced the bulkheads with thicker plywood (12mm total thickness per bulkhead/doubler set per side) with additional wooden gussets glued between the bulkhead/hull joints. I would highly recommend this modification of you want to paddle with the peace of mind.
I bought a used CLC Shearwater Sport sectional a few years ago and it was great because I could fit it in the cargo space of my airplane. Unfortunately lost the kayak in a garage fire a couple winters ago. My wife and I built a couple Shrikes last year, but I wish we had built them as sectionals. You do wonderful work!
What a beautiful boat!!! did you have trouble bending the 4mm plywood? Since the plans spec 3mm. Currently looking at building a sectional shrike (after finishing my shearwater sport sectional), but I can only source 4mm.
@@emirbalxi I see. You meam splicing the plywood panels? In this case, I just butt joined them with glasscloth laid on both sides without scarfing. But since I aligned the panels to end at the bulkhead joints (this is a section kayak), I sectioned the entire hull into 3 pieces by sawing the same butt joints apart later on. For 4mm plywood, it's too thin to scarf joint practically.
Hi Yappy Joe, your kayak is very nice, but why didn't you build it fully fiberglass and époxy resins ? We can choose much more natural products when WE want to show another way in order to care our earth isn't it ?
Thank you for your kind words. I think it's relative when it comes to showing our care to our earth. Epoxy resins are toxic in uncured form and produces toxic fumes when being burnt. Composite materials can be hazardous to handle and also comes in limited shelf-life, may not be practical for a home-builder producing a single kayak per year, not forgetting on the production of moulds and plugs which consume more resources and the just the end product. Besides, I don't have a workshop to store them properly. A fully wooden kayak will not last in such harsh climate which means that more trees needs to be fell to produce replacements kayaks in years to come. Not enivironmentally friendly in long term either, just like single-use utensils. I think a combination of different materials can strike a best balance between functionality, robustness and eco-friendliness, as no single material is perfect. At the end of the kayak's useful life, we have to consider the disposal process too. If you have some constructive suggestions, feel free to share here.
Heavily debating a 3-piece build now. Seems terribly convenient to have a take-down boat, but I don't "need" it as much as an urban dweller. Thanks for your videos, how has paddling your Shrike been? It'll be my first 'real' kayak.
Rather than the "convenience" , I think the real justification for a section kayak is the necessity for people living in flated apartments. The extra effort and time to convert it to section kayak can be quite substantial. Even for transportation, I still think that mounting the whole kayak over the car roof is still more practical and convenient than loading the individual sections in the car's cabin. If I do not have my current constraints, a 1 piece Shrike will be my choice anytime. Anyway, I have been having a lot of fun doing rolls and braces on my Shrike. With the reduces freeboard, it make paddling on choppy water a bit more exciting than most people will like.

Thank you!
Amazing project! Congratulations.
Amazing Joe, c u with your new boat soon
just discovered this video. WOW what a beautiful kayak and a great presentation of the build process
The fist thing i said in my mind was "Rebel" but self made beautiful kayak!
That's a beautiful build! Thanks for posting this.
WOW, that's a beautiful looking kayak!
Thank you.
Very nice work and awesome looking kayak!
Thank you.
Thanks from Brasil
Wow… that’s impressive that you made it yourself!!
Thank you! I hope I can bring it to HK to paddle someday.
Awesome beautiful boat.......
Nice job. Nice video. I also build two Shrike s, and i love this model.
Thank you! I am planning to build a Shrike-R too.

Use plenty of tension straps and torture the panel!
Awesome, mantap!
Hello Nice Build. i have a question. how did u join the hulls together?
Just bolts and nuts across the bulkheads. You can watch my other video for details. ruclips.net/video/6LXzA0wc8OA/видео.html
@@Joeyapwaichong no i mean at the begginig part where u fiberglass them together. did u just straight fiberglass them? or scarf joint them?

I'd have to do some serious modifications for that little thing to fit me,
Yes, it's a tight fitting kayak, especially if you choose to lower the freeboard and ocean cockpit.
Yes it is ,I'm 6' 2" 240lbs to small for me

I would be grateful if you would send me drawings for the construction of a kayak with dimensions!!!!
