2 someones took around the uk. The seaworthyness seems to be proven;) But the topic was inland paddling. So this remark is pointless. No clue about the right answer i seem to change my opinion about it a lot. I have not menaged to get close to own a canoe a decade..

This thread and erica's are the ones that get me and maybe others through this winter. Building bloggs are great even years after. More pics help a lot to tell the story. Looking forward to more progress

The savage rivers i have seen are close to the best composite canoes I have seen, if there was a ' easy' route to buy one in europe i think i had one. I thikn there are less then 10 over herewith a range of designs. The ones that interrest me most , the marc ornstein designs never made it...

I guess there always be less monarch canoes compared to prospectors, explorers ,quetico's to name a few. It is good to see this hull back in production. The gbr monarch is one underrated shape. That not many people put in their shortlist. It is so good

Much more primary stable compared to the polaris. Less glide. I have paddled both briefly and years in between. So it is not great to compare. I think if the conditions are poor i rahter do the polaris. Main thing will be get togehter in some boats buy 1. Put a decent amount of...

Looking forward to tomorrow s breakfast . This is one of the best trip report i have read. Hope the next day has a bit of paddling. It sounds like another big dissission day..

The white was less Beautifull compared to these new ones. Looking forward to rhe new tripreports.

Beautifull story and boat. Hopefully one day you will find a light weight canoe that is nice for freestyle as well.. Keep the stories comming. I like the similarities in end shapes when i looked at this and the swift cruisers. Hope the water gets warm and your can get a feeling for...

A weekend in the Ardennes naar Malmedy in a couple of weeks with many Belgium paddlers and some Dutch and Germans . Hope there will be water for the nice grade 2 rivers. But waterlevels are more for the walking boots. Paddle more from home. Hope there will be some longer trip later in the year.

About th polaris A couple of friends have 1. They look better in thah then in any boat they previously had. Blacklite makes then very comfortable of the water. They are not young anymore . They have expiriance in paddling expeditions and dya trips for decades. They came to the...

John was hinting on his ending at millbrook already a couple of years back. Saldy the day comes closer. Hopefully someone will fill the gap. His stuff is loved at at least 3 continents.

Glad that this has not spread worldwide as big as in the us. Altough yearly it seems to get bigger over here as well. Last investment in canoe / outdoor was last week. The left blade is new to me. It is huge. Not sure what my plans are. It was to close and cheap not to purchase it. I did...

Somekind of summercamp when i was 10. 2 years later my parents gave me a choice between another summercamp and a kids kayak second hand. I chose the kayak. Became a member of a paddling club. Paddled and owned many different canoes and kayaks the 40 years between then and now. Hope...

The first was a mad river quest. Bought second third of more hand. Second i think home build stichting and glue osprey. Bought and sold a number. Now there are 6.

These are to me the most stressful days it the build proces. I hope you can realx now be very proud on this achievement. And have many nice trips .

Beautifull. Shaft length? I hope you can do.many more of these .

Not sure if i would add air tanks. Your boat stays afloat without them and is serious stuff you need more flotation then there is in airtanks. That where my toughts on my home build. And on all 3 wooden canoe i currently own. Airtanks on composite boats yes please if they are used...

Hi nick, that seems almost the opposite of what the average english enthousiast uses normally. You look very happy is it. Glad to see you are doing so well. Great to see it in the water and not leaking horribly. Like to try oneday.

Yesterday was a splendit day to be outside. Of we went to one of our favorite places. It is just 15 min drive. It is a small park that is to wet to be farmed in a modern way. It is aprox 10 x 5 km with over 1000 bigger and Smaller islands. ( weirdly history has given all of them an name. )...

Lovely to see past and presentatie next to each other It would be so nice if there is a fast way to make 3d scans. To see all the differences in detail and to make better design s possible. Based on more facts then on feel. Up side down pics are always good.
