two person canoe?
Hi All,
Am looking to build a canoe for my partner and I, this is more a project of interest than a money saver (arent they all?) The requirements; to be used on a lake (no river paddling etc) by two people, me 220lbs, my partner 100lbs. must be car toppable by two, though length really isnt critical. nice and stable. We wont be fishing, but not really keen on going for an unplanned swim and neither of us are veteran paddlers. In conflict with the last, a bit of speed would be nice! This is more imprtant than turning ability, and would be willing to sacrifice a bit of stability for a bit of speed. Hopefully would be semi comfortable must be built of ply. Stitch and glue or any other ply method ok need not be stunningly beautiful Happy to pay for plans, dont mind a bit of complexity in the build. Have plenty of resources available, mainly looking for something that will be a pleasure to paddle. Thanks! Shaun |
