Dang it, I thought I had invented that move! It's a little more difficult in the 20 foot canoe, usually involves some contortions before the paddle will reach.

Maybe so, but in their beat up Grumman and dirty old keds sneakers and cut off jeans,with the accompanying once white armless beater shirt, they will probably still be out paddling the posers with their fleece paddle socks. That's been my experience many times lol.

Tweaker will use anything, but paddle with a super fast stroke rate. Pothead will use anything, but paddle at a super slow stroke rate. Drinking enthusiasts, such as myself, single stick only, with great panache, but often falls out of the canoe while draining the excess alcohol out of their...

When we ran Grumman 17 foot whitewater canoes with the school club, we routinely had three people in a canoe...However, we made sure they were light weights, and the 3rd person usually sat low on some canvas packs, more of a passenger than a paddler. I Stretched out a J. Winters Quetico from...

I've always wanted to try poling but never got around to it, looks like a lot of fun. Watching those pictures makes me wonder if anyone is going to grab one of those stand up paddle board paddles and paddle a canoe mostly standing up.

That's actually right in the ball park for an F150 in Canada right now. I don't know how people do it. If I win the lottery over the Christmas break, I'm gonna get a new truck, buy that $7800.00 (more like 10 G's Canadian) canoe and tour all the canoe shows in the States. I'm gonna get a fleece...

Who is actually buying these things? Is there a select group of ultra rich canoeists out there? Most canoeists I have met wait to purchase until the bread is half stale at the grocery store and listed as 50% off.

Good post Glenn! I'm jesting of course when I call it the Devil's Dirty Double Blade, and I paddle with a fella who uses one, plus I like motorized canoes, but on the other hand, you will never see one of those fugly things in my canoe, it's like bringing a five dollar bottle of plunk to a wine...

Think I've asked this before, but when one is cruising along with the Devil's Double Blade, what sort of speeds are you averaging, let's say on flat water, minimal wind? On my gps, single sticking, I'm usually between 6 and 7 k and hour without trying too hard.

Good googly moogly....that is an insane price.

Wonder what a Swift canoe costs in Germany?

The real question is why would I do that? I have no interest in the double blade. Sure, I went to the dark side when I was young, I had a river running kayak, used it for a year or two then traded it for two cases of Alexander Keith's Pale Ale. I have a pretty loose moral compass in most...

No.

I frequent a large firearms forum. The vender forum is quite heavily populated. New posts in the vender forum also show up when one clicks on the general "new posts" icon. I know you mention it is not paid advertising, but on this particular site, vendors pay to be hosted. Generally...

Looks great! I'd skip the float tanks. Not necessary, and every little bit will contribute to a hull that will probably be on the heavy side just due to the size.

Beaver, Porcupines, Bears, Caribou, birds, fish, Moose all sh1t in the woods and sometimes in the river because they are innocent beasts of the forest, devoid of human sensibilities. A thousand or so humans congregated in a small area, swilling beer and voiding into the river should know better...

Interesting, looking a lot like J Winter's Raven, with a little less rocker. I'd probably like it, and if I my kidneys were still good enough to sell, I'd probably be able to buy one.

I took some white water training on the French River. IN one weekend, there were more people camped in my immediate vicinity then there were living in my town. Over the course of the first night, I saw dozens of people leaking it in the river, the same river we were filtering our water from...

I've only built stemless once, so don't have a ready suggestion for you, maybe Jim will chime in. Looking forward to seeing that hull once it is glassed, our tamarack up here has a lot of dark orange hues, the epoxy should make the colours pop. Are you going to use cherry for trim? Just...
