Second picture is an Olympic racing kayak that I've just finished restoring for her from junk..

So great to see the photos. Especiall the photo of the Kayak. This reminds of the days when my Formula F1000 was being built for me, seeing the process from the bare chassis to the bodywork being molded and then finished. The Kayak looks nice and sleek and aerodynamic. It should really move across the water. Nice work.
