Fantastic work!

Here are some of the stations up in the bow area. Even though I flared it, it's not what I would consider significant as the widths still aren't very wide. My thought/hope is that it will still pierce waves but be enough to keep the bow from diving. I'll try and answer a few questions that...

I did one more design iteration which makes the current version Rev8. What I’ve noticed lately while paddling my C1 a lot is that the gunwales neck down quickly in front of the torso (the front of my boat is basically a C1). This is fine for how I’m currently training but for 260 miles in a...

Beautiful seat work!!!

I live in Houston so I feel your pain. I once built a racing canoe and when it was time to do the Kevlar work, I had to start at first light and work as quickly as possible. I had my epoxy jugs sitting in a tub of water a thermometer in it and added ice as needed to control the temp of the...

I think I have the boat the way I want it. The following pictures show a scaled model at 1”=1’. I don’t have full articulation on the paddler so don’t judge the paddle stroke. :) I’ve already started on the plans and should have them completed this week.

I put it in water to play around with it. Seems to sit nicely and looks like the trim is good. I wish photos would show better. Here are a few. On the one I’m holding at an angle, it will take quite a bit of lean before becoming an issue. I can feel the secondary stability as I heel it...

I think I have the design where I want it. I’ve widened it a bit to add more volume. It will help with the load capacity and should add a bit more stability. I may pull in the gunwales slightly just behind the seating area but I’ll wait to see what I think once stations are mounted and I can...

So my design inspiration is the attached boat. It’s a Landick 2 designed by Steve Landick and I had it built for me in 2019 by Fred Mynar. I absolutely loved this boat and never planned to get rid of it. Unfortunately once I moved into my townhome, getting it to fit in my garage was nothing...

So here is the back story on me designing a canoe and wanting to build another boat. Around 2012-2013 I had aspirations of building a canoe to race in the Texas Water Safari. For those of you not familiar with it, it’s a 260 mile canoe race in Texas that starts in San Marcos and ends in the...

Bottom pics as requested. I’ll be doing a little r&r at the beach this weekend and will begin my write up for this boat.

I’ve been working on a new boat design that I’ll comment on more later but wanted to get this going so it keeps me on task to keep moving forward. I’m hoping to complete the design within the next week or so and then formulate a game plan for building. I moved from the burbs two years ago and...

Looking good. You plan on racing it in the Safari this year?

Have any of you ever used one of these to reverse engineer parts of canoes? I’m currently working on a hybrid of a couple of my boats and I think this tool could be useful.

This is how I had mine rigged for the Safari.

The two larger holes in the foam behind the seat in both pictures hold two low profile 1/2 gallon jugs that have drink tubes coming out of them that I velcro to the side of the boat in front of me for easy access. If I don't need to jump out of the boat for lengths of time, I have a breakaway...

I'll chime in here and hopefully add a couple of pictures successfully (haven't tried that yet). You are familiar with my Lonestar Canoe Clint but I'll add some thoughts. The overall length of the boat is 19'. The width of the gunwales at the seating area is 18.5" and the max width of the...

Ozarkpaddler. I’m going to guess that you are in Arkansas. If so, why area? My wife and I are hoping to move to Fayetteville in the not so distant future. Clint, I’ll definitely be following along and look forward to test paddling it once you are finished if you don’t mind

Here is my preliminary design. Once 3d printed I’ve noticed a couple of tweaks I want to make. After that I hope to recreate in Delftship to run some calculations on it.
