Since this has popped up today. Thought that I would post a pic of the paddle that came with Ohio canoe. Love the logo. Race-Mate

So yea the gunnels are all screwed on. And look like they will come off easy. I have already done a test peel on the bottom and took a 2sqft piece of fiberglass off last night just messing around with it. Everything look good on the boat. It will be a good challenge and be a good boat for me...

Received a call last week from a gentlemen here in Dallas, TX that was moving and need to get rid of a canoe. Over the phone he said it was a strip boat he had built and it was more of a racing style than a tripping boat. So I went by and took a look at it yesterday and picked it up and brought...

Looks like they started this morning. From the article you posted @Glenn MacGrady I find their sleep schedule interesting. I could not imagine paddling that Min4 at night with 2 people. I bet that is a slog. But maybe it is more of just guiding it down the river and less about propulsion...

I am finding out here there are some more than others. Especially the fixed mind part.

That is what I was thinking also.

They are starting sometime soon. One heck of a team this year with Scott Miller, Paul Cox, Wally Werderich and Judson Steinback. If anyone would like to follow along check out their website and Garmin tracking page.

I would love to be able to take the time off and go do this!

This is more so for racing and less about tripping but it is different reading that people in a tandem boat (team) that ignore their partner. And paddle how they want? How does that help move the boat down the water the most efficient way possible? Everyone needs to be in sync, blades hitting...

Every time someone says "hut". Its a new side for me.

I've thought about this a little Glenn. Even contemplated on buying an electric truck the last time I bought one. Went down a scenario of planning out a trip pulling my little teardrop camper on a short trip. And the cost of buying one that would do the scenario of said camping trip along with...

It was in @Erica post #13. But you are right I do not see it anywhere in the thread. So not sure where it came from. @Glenn MacGrady have any guesses?

I fish and camp out of a Wenonah Whisper. This is there description: The ideal performance solo canoe for lightweight paddlers up to 150 lbs. This design is smaller than the Advantage; less stable, but more efficient. I know this is a different model to what you are asking but compared to the...

@scoutergriz and @Erica This was a multiday race (260 miles Texas Water Safari). Finished in 84 hours. We did not have a spray cover for the front of the boat. And we was fixing to cross about 6 miles of open water in a bay. So I took one of our mylar blankets and tapped it to the front to...

People talking about a warranty. I've never been that close to a new boat to even think about a warranty. Why would you need one?

Of coarse it depends on who the buyer is. I have found that some people flip out over scratches and other not so much. A recreationally paddler or a lake OC1 racer that wipes their boat down every time they get out of the water doesn't understand why or how someone even gets scratches on their...

I like the Kokatat Orbit and the NRS Ninja after seeing y'all's posted. The other low profile with the CO2 cartridge assist are not allow in most of the races I do. Looking at Kokatat's website, it looks like they may not make the Orbit anymore? I do not see it there.

To go along with @Erica thread on what we carry. What kind of PFD does everyone have? I am in the process of looking for a new one. Since I race I like for mine to be low profile, breathable ( nothing like wearing one in 110*F going all out), light weight, easy on and off and no bells and...

During the winter I wear mine the most. It has two small pockets. One will hold a whistle and the other holds my phone. I like wearing the short style like you are talking about. The longer style rubs a little more. If a race requires full time PFD during the summer generally means getting in to...

Brian - Awesome information. When using smaller material width wise. How much overlap do you need to keep the strength? Generally I can only find S-glass in 30" width. Do you mind sharing where you found the 60"?
