@bar Priority number two is I want to have time to design a CNC made kayak which splits into small enough parts to fit in the back of my car

@ScrumdyBum

@ScrumdyBum I have made a couple kayaks and canoes. I wanted to try to make something similar to Point 65N’s modular kayak. https://kayaks.point65.com/

*Edit: I have 2 of these that I built laying around. I thought about cutting and capping at the arrows just for a proof of concept and then coming up with a way to join them. I thought about doing 2 long dovetails have them slide together but didn’t know what to do with the gap.

@MidnightMaker The way that Chesapeake Light Craft does it is they sandwich two plywood bulkheads with a layer of cardboard in between. When the boat is built, you then saw the boat in half and the saw follows the path of least resistance through the cardboard. A little cleanup and some neoprene and you’re good to go. Oh, the bolts were already epoxied into the plywood prior to construction.
