vaguely proposed a theory .......and in reply I say!: I must be totally inept. I thought _every_ job was like this......especially the bit about the prop G Flew's Theory My theory is that any job on my boat takes minimum 4 times as long as it would if not for being on a boat. And this is for well organised, planned in From a base of 100% to do it in my garage:- My other theory is that when you need to change the lamp at the top of the mast, you might as well start by removing the prop. It can't possible be ( and I have no idea how I would remove the prop without slipping the boat, probably start by changing the masthead lamp .... ) My son wants to know if you take 6 hours to build the 6 hour canoe, how long will it take to sink? Sounds like a wise and worthwhile lad to have around! ************************************************** ** sorry ..........no I'm not! remove ns from my header address to reply via email Spike....Spike?

Obviously you don't know me or you would see the humor in your statement. I don't do anything "as fast as possible". Quite the contrary, I am quite lazy and usually usually do things as slow as possible... Here is a peek at the results of plenty of sleep and innattention to detail or anything else that could cause stress: http://rbbpix.com/toofast.htm ;-) Scotty, The Backyard Renegade! "notta chance" wrote in message ... For my first project i am going to build the 'six hour canoe' from the book. Anyone have any experience or know of related websites? Thanks! Funny that your handle is "not a chance" as it is what I would say if you ask if you can build it in 6 hours! First time builder... Call it the 16 hour canoe or maybe 26 if you work at a slower pace;) But so what, you will end up with a little boat and a bad addiction. Yes, you will build more boats, just the way it is. Let us know how you do, good luck on your build, Scotty ************************************************** ** sorry .........no I'm not! remove ns from my header address to reply via email Spike....Spike?

No. It was a general comment on the idea of a 6-hour boat (or whatever). It happened to tag onto your reply. 'sallright, I knew it was all in fun, besides, I was just showin' off anyway, Scotty |
Building the Six Hour Canoe
The Six Hour Canoe is amazingly similar to the "Cheap Canoe" from bateau.com
There's a number of builders on the message boards found through the links on http://www.bateau.com and there's an excellent tutorial on stitch & glue (a.k.a. slop and goo) on the site as well. It takes some navigating though since it looks like they're re-disigning the site. -- Andrew Butchart http://www.floatingbear.ca "notta chance" wrote in message ... For my first project i am going to build the 'six hour canoe' from the book. Anyone have any experience or know of related websites? Thanks! |

It may look similar but there are major differences between the bateau.com canoe and the 60 hr canoe. The 6 hr canoe has a lot more rocker than the Cheap Canoe. The 6hr canoe is designed as a wooden boat with stem pieces and other wood framing, there is no such thing in the Cheap Canoe, the structure is all fiberglass. The Cheap Canoe is much easier to build. The plans are free, you don't have to pay for the book. Check the free plans here and you will see the difference: http://www.bateau.com/free/freeplans.htm Click around and you will find several web sites and pictures of the Cheap Canoe. It's a large PDF file, give it time to download. Jacques. |
