Cockpit and storage areas

Posted on August 7, 2022September 14, 2022 By Mike No Comments on Cockpit and storage areas
Kayak Building, Taalak

With completed Hobie Guardian and Mirage drive wells, it was time to permanently glue in the framing and cockpit as well as storage bins. I went with 2 shallow storage areas what will mainly be for gear tracks, as well as a really deep bin on the left, and a shallower bin on the right which will double as the area the steering handle for the rudder will be.

Cockpit, stern storage area, storage bins cut out and glued up. Waiting for fiberglass and gluing into the hull
This is the well for the Hobie guardian. I fiberglassed the inside, glued on a cover and fiberglassed the outside. Similar to the Hobie Mirage Drive well extra epoxy and fiberglass to make sure its water proof.
Find every heavy thing in the garage thats safe to on to press down the cockpit. Really need it to make good contact especially around the Hobie Mirage drive area
Cockpit and rear storage glued in. Mirage drive cut out from cockpit side as well. Having a router makes it pretty easy.
