Just acquired 2 new ( to me) wood kayaks from someone who was giving
them away. I am trying to find out the builder and model. They are
v-bottom plywood, stitch and glue, very light. They are made of three
panels only, two for the hull and one for the deck. The deck is curved
ala chesapeake light craft, and fastened to a stringer but only with
glue, no nails. The bottom seam is glassed with a strip of glass inside
and out but no other glass on the hull. It is ~ 15 feet 10 inches, by ~
26 inches. with oval cockpits and a built-up ply coaming for a skirt.
Hulls are painted and decks clear with pad eyes fore and aft on the
deck. The former owner thought they were built in Canada. I would
assume they were professionally built. I am going to guess they are 10
+ years old, but i could be way off. The two panel hull yields a bottom
with a fair amount of deadrise and the bow is definitely more broad
than the stern (like a porpoise). I am guessing they are fast but tippy
(at least initially) but will have to wait until I get a few holes
patched up to find out.

Does this ring a bell with anyont familiar with Canadian kayak
builders? Would be happy to provide pictures if anyone has any ideas
what they are.
