• Most gel coat repairs can be done by anyone with a few basic tools and ingredients. I will walk you through these step-by-step plus supply an accompanying document.
• While there is limited remedial repairs for plastic boats, there are some ways to fill in gouges.
• Want to edge and roll your boat with impunity? You may need to install foam knee bracing to have “purchase” with you knee, depending on your- and the boat’s- geometry.
• We will cover two designs for stowing your spare (and main) paddle on your boat
• I will show a simple kayak stand design you can build yourself from PVC pipe. These are great for washing your kayak. They also are very ergonomic for working on the kayaks.

I will have a few resource documents on how to accomplish some of this work that I will send out to those on the roster.
