Sea Rider - first test (6th April 2019)
Finally the
ice melted and I was able to give my new kayak a test.
She is
well-balanced, very responsive and a little more lively than I am used to. Overall,
I am very satisfied with my first impression. I also
realize that I need to get a backrest.
Sea Rider SOF Kayak
During 2018/2019 I finalised the building of a Yost See Rider skin-on-frame kayak.
Some facts:
Design from Tom Yost (http://yostwerks.org), beam increased to 51,5 cm
Frames made of birch plywood, 12 mm
Coaming made of ash, size 67 x 40 cm
Frame covered with polyester 8 ounce skin (from Dyson)
Skin coated with water based acrylic house paint (Nordsjö One)
The final kayak. Pictures taken a gray and rainy day in March.

Jotunheimen och Glittertind, 11 - 13 juli 2018
Tillbaka till Jotunheimen ett år senare. Norge gav mersmak. Ny konstellation, betydligt varmare och bekvämare boende. Och ännu en topp på listan!
Jotunheimen och Galdhöpiggen, 3 - 5 juni 2017
En kort utflykt till Jotunheimen med sönerna för att prova de norska bergen. Vi tältade vid Spiterstulen. Ganska ensamma och frost på nätterna.
