Always love seeing lots of pictures, thanks

Great boat, great pics, great place to live for canoeing. Welcome!

That is a beauty. Congrats. Nice to know custom work is still available these days.

We all love all trip reports, thanks.

Have fun and post pics!

There are many to consider. Hemlock Perigrine, Swift Keewaydin 15, Northstar Northwind solo are some I would start with for lake travel. If you intend miles wide crossings you might opt for something with a bit more depth to handle large boat wakes. Maybe a Prospector type hull? Swift makes a...

When Karen Knight first came to the Adirondack Freestyle Symposium I was teaching the first class she attended…blew me away instantly. Told her there was no need for her to continue in the class and sent her to a more advanced one. Describe something and she would do it perfectly…the first time...

Looks like Royalex to me

Last Royalex I had was an Old Town Otter…built like a tank. I can’t even imagine what it would take to dent the front stem like that!! Maybe an NFL defensive lineman with a sledge hammer and bad attitude?

If it fits your particular needs it IS the best boat out there.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe Pat ever made transom style canoes. Is there another company that used the name Moore? The construction appears to be woven roving (mat) which is an inexpensive and generally heavy form of fiberglass construction. Serviceable but not...

AC and sweet tea make the South habitable. I indulge myself with both.

It’s just a great compact tandem. Comfortable yet playful if you want to be.

Think I would use painters tape to be sure there’s no residue?

Have always tied down using the loop through the tug eyes…no problems so far

Best advice I can give is to arrange your seat so that about 60% of your weight is on your butt and only 40 on your knees. That way it’s much easier to move your ankles and feet around periodically to give yourself some relief.

You will develop a system that works for you the more times you do it. As with most canoe related things, just go paddling and you’ll figure it out 😊. Welcome to the wonderful world of solo!

Full disclosure…. I’m 74 but still a kneeler. As stated above, lay paddle across the rails and hold on to it and the rails. Step into the middle of the boat with one foot and, if you’re spry enough, as you bring your second foot in take it straight into a kneeling position. Then kneel with first...

That’s a beauty! Enough rocker to be a fun one also! Enjoy…I’m jealous.

No experience with this but I would try a large diameter pool noodle with a slit?….lots cheaper
