Glenn. Go ahead and change it as you see fit. I realized that it wasn't completely accurate but it seemed to be somewhat common usage. I actually tried Nick's technique from that video on my canoe but was not entirely successful. I ended up over-bevelling the inside and left a pretty noticable...

That looks similar to an idea I had. I plan on putting a second layer on the football anyway, so thought about tilting the boat and doing one side at a time but overlapping the whole football to make that section double thickness. Seems like a lot of effort though. I'd rather do the whole...

So I built this solo canoe with a hard chine and now I really don't know what kind of problems I might run into trying to fiberglass into that tumble home section. I'm concerned the fiberglass either won't make the corner around the chine or that it won't lay flat against the tumblehome. The...

I'm leaning towards a solo canoe. If that means I take the dog only on shorter trips where I can pack lighter and perhaps deal with less than ideal weight distribution, I can live with that. It's not always a bad thing to move slower and do more fishing. And if it really won't work to have...

I had original planned on building the Bob's Special after reading Canoecraft. Then I read some of the build threads here for the Kite and I reconsidered that decision. The main advantage with the Bob's Special is it would work with a second person as well. I was considering the Ashes canoe...

Thanks for all the replies. I've seen those Raven build threads but hadn't considered it due to it having a more significant rocker. As a solo paddler, my assumption was that less would be beneficial for tracking but maybe I'm making that more of an issue than I need to. I've paddled a lot of...

First time builder here trying to settle on a cedar strip design. I had decided on a dedicated solo canoe like a Kite or Ashes Solo Trip, but I don't think that leaves a lot of room for a dog. If I wanted to bring her along, I expect we'd be up over 300 pounds. I was thinking something a...
