    New desecration

    I've never felt the need to use any more than two screws to secure each foot peg track to the hull, don't recall any yak, pack boat or canoe manufacturer to use three screws either. Seems that nut would catch on things, maybe turn it around to the inside?

    Which solo canoes are best for heeling?

    Marc, I noticed on a recently acquired June Bug that there are no discernable parting lines on the hull, suggesting a one piece mold. Previously owned bubble sided hulls required either a split mold (Lady Bug) or a two piece mold (Kee 14) to remove the hull from the mold. Did you incorporate...

    Radisson 12' square stern?

    I had a Radisson double ender and a Sportspal 13 square back. The Sportspal was decidedly better built, slightly thicker aluminum and fewer seams, slightly heavier. Powered with an air cooled Gamefisher 1.75 outboard.

    Just learned that I have a torn meniscus - now what?

    I had a torn meniscus a few years ago that was 'trimmed off' and prevented conventional kneeling. A friend of Dave Yost who had been in a bad wreck shared a technique for kneeling that involves crossing one's ankles, which places the pressure on a different place on the knee. It felt awkward...

    Accessories - wrong answers only

    I confess, my dumps would not be so dainty. I would need something more substantial.

    Finally got a solo

    I went back at looked at your pics a little closer. It appears your gunnels are Wenonah type, to which all thwarts and carry handles consist of tubular aluminum, bent at the ends and riveted to the gunnels, seats hung from angles sandwiched between the gunnel and hull. The person who...

    Finally got a solo

    Padz Canoe Contoured Knee Pads at NRS.com is about as close as you can come.

    Finally got a solo

    I would add Mad River carry handles like pic below. Mount them like your thwarts are mounted; provides support for the gunnels (instead of those wedge blocks). If I remember. Mad River used to claim that the Airex core and the wood trim keep the boat from sinking, but it would be...
