@Brightraven and if everything works to your satisfaction, you should think about another seat. Why? So that you don't have to sit so much on the pieces of wood when you are sitting on the edge of the board. This is very uncomfortable in the long run. A seat with a wider seat surface is much...

Conversion to solo is certainly possible. I did the same with my Wilma. (Old Town 146k) No problem at all.

:love: What a satisfaction it must be to build such a canoe yourself! Absolutely fantastic.

lots of wood in beautifully shaped forms Anyone who has ever dealt with paddle will realize, as I did, that it is not the boat that is “special”. No. It's the seat, the seating position, the seat height and the paddle that is appropriate for the water and external conditions! 😉 Joa, and then...

(y) nice to see - it works.

oh ... then she'll know it. https://kcda.de/der-sport/naturbewusst-paddeln PS: I am always amazed that there are so many “points of contact” between Americans / Canadians here to Germany. I like it! (y)

;) Yes, tipis convey the great feeling of freedom and adventure - I think Yes, of course we swapped our boats with each other to try out a different one. But I remain loyal to my Wilma!

but Wilma is also a beauty!!! :love: We then spent Saturday's morning program, under the expert guidance of the ACA instructors, using the paddle a little more beautifully and effectively. Conscious, slow paddling/riding with the right technique makes even the “fat Wilma” look elegant. . ...

now - I see. (sorry)

but he did well ;)

🥵 ähm ... no these are paddles from Grey Owl, which I only made chic again ...

ready to go ... I did the final work on the two paddles today. I gave the light one the last coat of varnish and the dark one the last coat of oil on the handle. . .

You don't need a huge river or a raging mountain stream to get into trouble with a canoe. Sometimes a navigable water level of 70 cm at a leisurely flow speed is enough to get stuck on a stone, or you can't avoid a tree trunk lying in the water, or the current pushes the boat into a bush hanging...

bow-ballast-for-solo-paddling Why should I carry “useless” stuff with me? then rather 6.5 kg full of possibilities ;) For minor and / or major injuries, there is of course a generously sized first aid kit in a waterproof roll bag on board! With some important additions for me such as...

my oldest item is my brain which I use dayly - since 1961 ;)
