The next step in my kayak building journey was to plane the end clamps. These need a specific radius that changes depending on where you are along the top of the boat. The kit includes two guides to assist with this. The fore deck of the boat has a 16\u201d radius. The aft deck has\u2026.well, I\u2019m not sure! The instructions say the 16LT should have a 60\u201d radius, but the kit included a 49\u201d radius. I emailed Chesapeake Light Craft and John H. got back to me quickly and said \u201cit original was 24\u201d in the demo boat, and then changed to 49. An easy\u00a0check would be to compare the aft deck radius template to the rear\u00a0“hatch frames” in the kit. They should be close to the same.\u201d \u00a0 \u00a0<\/em>I did that, and the radius is 49\u201d\u2026but the aft bulkhead seems to be about 60\u201d, so it will be interesting gluing the top on. I planed it down to 49\u201d using the template, and then did the \u201cend pours\u201d to protect the nose and tail.<\/p>\n
