If you build a seakayak you might want to do multiday trips. Therefore you need access to your gear. And it is a good idea to divide the boat into 3 water tight compartments. I decided to put in Kayaksport hatches into the boat plus a “ready to run skeg” from the same vendor. This avoids any time consuming construction.
I ordered my parts at Gardermann in Hamburg – a trusty Kajak Sport Dealer with great offerings.
The homepage from Artu Nikula (Frans N.) provides plenty of pictures how to build a Frej – he covers also the installation of the Skeg.
If you want to know how you could build in the hatch rims, you can refer to Niklas website: https://niglaskajak.wordpress.com/2019/03/10/fikaluckan/ he uses the same method like Ulf uses.
