Good day all!! I have a question for the composite gurus amongst us!! On my ww paddles I laid carbon fibre Indes S-glass on both face, but I was wondering if I would put carbon fibre only on one face is it would have the same or similar effect in terms of stiffness!! And if so would it be better...

Look like a nice system if you like blue barrels... I hate them with a passion!! They are a pain to deal with in the boat, a pain to deal with to organized there contains, they are a pain to deal with on land... the only real plus they have for them is waterproofness... it is a big advantage but...

I dasychain them and throw them in the vehicle !!

Sweet!! I worked for a summer on the Moisie/Nipissing river for a salmon outfitter, and the Moisie have been on my wish list of river to paddle for a long time!! 26 ish portages, some amazing whitewater, easy shuttle!!

I have 2 of those in my shop, 16x20 r35 in the walk and r40+ in the roof, we get a few weeks at below -40 and the shop is kept at around 14c but easily can be warmed up to 18-20c in no time!! These things are quite, efficient and almost zero maintenance, they take no space they are never in the...

I wonder if it is a “laminated” canoe, where the strips on the inside and the one on the outside are staggered... they use to make motor boat and sail boat like that, I think they were hot molded and then cured in an “oven”...https://youtu.be/X6hgRQuvg60

I have dedicated lining rigs, I line like in the old days from under the boat( best way imo) I have rope of the same length but they are a bit short @ I think 20’. My next set will be 25’ each and different colours now and stern to help keep the tangle to a minimum!!

Midnight in the Yukon!!

Cool i always wanted to make some fire box and then I found those a long time ago and never bother making one!! I would love to have one like mine but in Titanium to save weight.... As for the cover, I roughly copied the original one, but made it a lot nicer and better. I think a bag wouldn’t...

I really a visual guy and if I could find a video that explains the different techniques shared on here or a photo essay it would be great!! thank you for the suggestion I still have time since I want it to be a winter project, and need to figure things i out to make it « easy » on me hahaha

The CRCO fire box needed a new case/cover and while I was at it I made it stronger nicer and smarter with carry hassle and daisy chain to secure it in the boat!! i know they won’t be in order but here are some pictures:rolleyes:

Thank you again everyone!! The boat is a Millbrook Prowler, i love the boat but I want something a bit shorter, with tucked gunnels but with a similar width maybe a bit more volume in the bow and definitely keep the « cab forward » paddling design !! i talked to John about it since he visited...

Thank you for the info I will have to experiment and see if I can figure it out!!

No plans available, the design is of a friend and he said he is fine with it as long as it is not a copy of his boat( it will be heavily modified so won’t look like a copy but influenced by!!)

Good day, I would like to know how to copy an existing hull to then modified( shrink it a little where I think it need to shrink...) to then make stations and sting back an build a boat?!?! if that make any sense!!:D

Up here we often use barrels for food, but mainly to keep it dry since we do lots of class II III Rivers, but I want to get rid of barrels and build food box/wanigans like the one I use for the kitchen, it is water tight and so much easier to organize and keep organized!! Also easier and more...

It is a special time of the year and up here people take it really seriously... cause from now on days are getting shorter again!! 0930pm working on the canoe rack, then a weekend at our backyard run!! n.b. All pictures have been taken with my phone and in the right position... all pictures have...

They are indeed a great company! Even me that live in the boonies of northern Canada deals with them!!
