Skin-on-frame kayak with ballistic nylon

D.I.Y.- Greenland Kayak with raw nylon fabric

1 | 3

Dear extremtextil team, I really enjoy using your products and would like to tell you about a project I have been working on:

I built a skin-on-frame kayak based on the Greenland design and covered a wooden frame with your ballistic nylon. The fabric was very easy to stretch over the frame and then shrink further with steam and heat. I then made the fabric waterproof with a PU coating (Coelan) and dyed it. I added carrying handles and luggage straps using your cords and ribbons, and some Evazote mats serve as a comfortable and secure seat. Even after several years of use, the skin is extremely stable and tightly stretched, and I enjoy every minute on the water. Thank you very much for your great range of products!

Best regards

Matthias
