Default BOAT SHOW REPORT.. jaxineering

The canoe stern is hardly unique to Valiant.


It also follows very old design ideas.



the design dates from when it was impossible to build a boat with a watertight
meeting of the ends of planks. Therefore, if one bent the planks around and up
so that they met above the waterline, you didn't have to worry so much about
taking on water.

A good point, but Doug won't like it.

Cheers
