I picked it up last night! 1922, it went back to OT for restoration 6 years ago. Looks like new canvas, 12 ribs, maybe 25% of the planking, new oak keel (was ordered from the factory!). The rest looks original! I took it out today solo and tandem. I was surprised at the way it paddled, much...

Thanks for the point in the right direction yellowcanoe!

I'm echoing some of the other posters. In my Duluth packs I've found the big plastic liner works great! I put my down bag in a separate silnylon dry bag "just in case" and all my other gear is in color coded stuff bags for organization. Rain gear and lunch go under the flap, any incidentals...

I'm seeking any friendly advice, comments, or thoughts on an Old Town 17' Charles River. My experience with WC canoes is the OT Otca I inherited from my grandfather. It has just basically been maintaining and enjoying. I have the opportunity to purchase one that has been "factory restored" at...

Looking for a new to me Encounter in the ultra light lay-up. I'm in Rhode Island, I can make it to CT, MA, NH, VT pretty easily, I also go up north to the Adirndacks a couple of times each year. I'm also willing to arrange shipping for the right boat. Anybody out there with the big boy?

Snapper, Bristol is about 40 miles north and east of us, about 1 hour if it's normal (non-beach) traffic. As far as canoeing opportunities go I live on the largest lake in the state, you have the salt ponds just a little south of me, and a lot of moving water (with a bunch of dams). It's...

I switched over to alcohol 5 years ago for almost all solo and tandem trips and haven't looked back! Reasonably efficient, controllable with the right burner, and quiet, quiet, quiet! I have tried homemade ones out of Hineiken cans, soda cans, cat food cans, etc, and always come back to my...

Memaquay, I'll see what I can dig up. It's a great hull design if your looking for a freight liner. The lines are unmistakable, when I see one a smell Maine! Yellowcanoe, have you ever heard the expression "preaching to the converted"? I start with the poison ivy pre wipes in March and smell...

I've been fly fishing and tying since jr high, and what you have re-discovered there is a elk hair caddis! Here in RI I tie them in 3 sizes and 3 colors along with a fly called a Goddard caddis (we have a lot of caddis fly streams), and a third caddis pattern I like to say I invented, but I'm...

Hi all, my name is Curtis and I'm the caretaker of a children's camp on Wordens Pond in southern RI. I enjoy canoe tripping among a host of other things like fly fishing, woodworking, etc... In former lives I ran several outdoor retail stores in the mid west, was/am an Adirondack Voyagure and...

When I'm not in the Hennesey, I'm on the XL version of that pad (I'm 6'7" and 300#), really comfortable. We even use it for an extra bed at the house!
