| During last years holidays (2006) my just finished yellow SOF was very popular with my two boys (Marnix & Filip). They sometimes almost fought over it. That created the idea in my mind to build a better fitting kayak for the kids for this years holidays. But as it alwasy goes, there are enough other chores to do around the house and even though I had promised myself to start the build way before the holidays, it was not until the end of may that I finally started. I chose the Seaflea design by TomYost. And as the day I started we had originally planned a paddle tour that was cancelled because of bad weather, Dick came by to give me a hand. And of course Filip also helped big time constructing 'his' Seaflea so it would be ready for our holidays to Sweden. |  |

 the 3 inch band is cut every 2 inch appr. 1,5 inch down and these are glued around a PE tube to the 1 inch band attached in step 2 |  details of the coaming with the PE tube (waterpipe ) |
