A boat builders shop is a potentiellay dangerous place, with sanding dust, oils, paints, sharp tools, machines and solvents. No place for carelessness.

Strip, glue and laminate - a gratifying step.

När kanoten är färdigbyggd fortsätter du lämpligen med en paddel - när du har ångan uppe och verktyg och material till hands och medan du väntar på att lacken skall torka. Det finns mycket att vinna på att utforma paddeln efter dina behov och paddelteknik.
