I wouldn't recommend it for Class III and neither would Esquif. I haven't tried the other boats you mention so don't have any insights to share. As for weight, I'm sharing my impression and I tend towards hyperbole. Overall, I really like the Echo and think of it as a very capable canoe -- just...

Does this canoe require a full re-canvas or is it just in need of good sanding and a paint job? It's for sale near me and I'm interested only if I am refilling canvas and painting. Also, if the paint is this bad, is it likely the bedding in the stems is bad, too?

I have her North Woods pack. Love the size. She makes really nice packs but would never want to copy her work out of respect for the business that she has built.

Thanks, Robin. Among other things, I'm a canvas and leather worker. I've priced out materials and am confident that I could produce a high quality version of this in either 15oz or 18oz canvas, latigo leather and stainless steel roller buckles for a much more reasonable price. Going to make a...

Robin, could I bother you to lay your #3 flat and measure height and width? Thanks, Art

I admit I have an untrained eye, but the stem in one of the photos looks rotted and several planks look damaged.

The follow 1962 Joe Seliga canoe is listed in Facebook Marketplace in Maine. Not affiliated with seller, just bumped into the post and thought I'd share.

Wife gave me one of his pack baskets for Christmas. Supposed to pick it up this week.

I have a Northstar Magic in kevlar listed on Facebook Marketplace if anyone is interested. Located in Camden, ME. Pickup only. This is a 2019 model, very few scratches, a few dings, still in very nice condition. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/484546157165448

Robin, I still hope to get over to visit your shop.

Just purchased a 1965ish Chestnut Prospector from White Rose Canoe in Newbury, Mass. Great people to deal with. But it's got me wondering what I should carry in my repair kit when tripping with this canoe. What would a well stocked field repair kit for a wood/canvas canoe include? Sorry if this...

That was mine, yes. I just replied to the post on the Appleton board and to let everyone know the boat has been recovered and graciously returned.

Morse's?

On Friday, I exercised the poorest of judgment by trying to run my Esquif Echo down the St. George River (Maine) in flood stage. By the third wave in the wave train my canoe was full of water and, well, I went swimming for about a 1/4 mile of rapids before I could get to shore. I was exhausted...

Yes, Dave Curtis was great to work with and I in no way meant to suggest that my struggles were the boat’s fault but only my own. I look forward to figuring it out and spending many hours on the water in it.

That's cheating.

Thank you, Glenn. This is really helpful. I'm already thinking about a day of heeling exercises in shallow water.

Yeah, I was sitting while taking a break from kneeling. I do feel more in control kneeling but not enough to make me confident. I'll put in the time, as Glenn suggests.

Thank you, Glenn. I'm fully committed to the canoe and will put in the time.
