Here’s my Skeena (front and center) in action exploring some icebergs outside of Spencer Glacier in Alaska!

Loved the build process, found it to be super satisfying to weld with the leather iron- this was my first DIY raft and I am so proud of how it turned out, haven’t found any leaks to speak of after a few times out on lakes and the 12 miles of Class 1-2 river after exploring this glacial lake.

From start to finish it probably took me about 35-40 hours, finished it up in about 2 weeks with a bit of work every day. I was a little surprised at how fast it came together, but I was hooked after the first segment was sealed on!

I’m on the fence on whether I want to add a spray deck or not, playing around with the idea of designing a cruiser deck for rainy days.

Hello!

I’m not a bot, and I just finished my Skeena!
