    Canoe Identification

    The canoe is located on the Long Beach Peninsula in Washington State. It has very likely been used in Willapa Bay. I see what appears to be makeshift sail thwart. Dingy sailing/racing used to be a popular sport out of Oysterville in Willapa Bay. Someday I would like to experience a WC canoe. As...

    Canoe Identification

    Any ideas on the make/model of this canoe? I am leaning towards home built. Does it look like canvas or fiberglass? I sent a message, but have not received a reply https://www.facebook.com/share/18WpaRwYZc/

    Old Town Penobscot 17

    A couple of updates: I used some Flood Penetrol on the faded hull. It turned out pretty good. https://www.canoetripping.net/threads/flood-penetrol-before-and-after.131212/ I also finished rewebbing the bow seat. I still need to remove, revarnish and web the stern seat.

    Thoughts on an Esquif Heron 15

    It is very dangerous to look through the facepage marketplace. An Esquif Heron 15 popped up within a reasonable driving distance and what appears to be a great price. It seams that it is a cut down version of their Prospecteur 15. Does anyone have any experience with this canoe? I am 6'-1"...
