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...

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.

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...

I have been rigging a Alumacraft QT17C for racing. This one this specifically the Texas Water Safari. But this can be used in any race as far as I know as there are no exterior hull modifications. As far as which aluminum canoes work best. The Alumacraft Vouyageur is the sought after canoe. With...

Wondering if anyone knows what Wenonah's standard measurement is for their sliding rails? If I remember correctly the spacing between the 2 runners in their seats is 6" center line. But I can not remember how wide the 2 tubes need to be for the sliding part.

Free to someone that would like to pay for shipping from 75459. Looks like the pads need some work. But the yoke itself is in good shape.

Thought some might fine this neat. It looks like it will be a colorful boat when finished.

So I had the opportunity to buy a Crozier canoe. It is a one off kevlar custom cruiser built by Crozier, beautiful work. It has been garage kept and in great shape. I originally got it to have sometime to race on flat water or clean rivers. Well here in my neck of the world those are far and...

Are there any good magazines that come out 6-12 times a year with good content? Maybe with some tripping, racing, stories? Something to hold and look through.

In my area we have grown a little group of people that like to race the Texas Water Safari. Started out at the first of the year we was going to do maybe two aluminum teams and try and recruit a 4th person to race with us. We had tried out the unlimited style canoe that I have but we are just...

After writing a discussion and choosing the "save draft". Where does the draft go? Am I missing it somewhere? I started a writing the other day and had to stop and hit the save draft button. Then came back today and can not figure out how to get back to that draft. Thanks for any help.

So the "Blue Barrel" and the Preferred Tripping Style" threads seem to show that everyone has different ways they like to travel. In that it is slowly showing that everyone has their own way of storing their gear and in general just different types of gear for different regions. And also...

Did anyone see Ashes new tandem design? Looks interesting. And it is offered for free at the moment for a download. https://ashesstillwaterboats.com/

I thought I would post this rebuild here even though this is not your typical tripping canoe. It is a racing canoe but, thought people could learn from how it was built and may be able to apply it to another build. If not delete away. For the 2022 Texas Water Safari my paddling partner and I...

Last weekend Emma and I took our annual canoe trip. We did the 20 mile trip below Possum Kingdom Lake, 3 day 2 nights. The 3 days was nice. It gave time to fish and hang out with the 2 other dad/daughter groups. Day 1 started around 5am by stopping and getting one of the dad daughter group...

Around here in my part of Texas I do not see what I would consider “fine canoes”. They are either Aluminum, Safari style or the Old Town Discover boats. So Wednesday my daily Craigslist search opened with the same old $250 “canoes”. So I opened it and started scrolling through pictures. About...

A buddy and I did a race this past weekend. It was fun but tough! 22 miles with about ~400,000 logjams. No joke I think there was something to go under, over or around every 200 yards. We took a 17’ Ouachita aluminum and competed in the TCKRA pro class. It was just for fun for us. Wanted to see...

I had caught the Black Lite Elbow Carbon paddle on sale one year and bought a couple. I really like using them. Long as you are careful with them they are pretty tough. But they are no match to being a shield to a tree limb across a river. There was a strainer in a corner when we went around the...

I have been on Canoe Tripping for about a year now and have been looking around and reading all that I could on building canoes. I have talked with Alan G about his AGX boat and watched Muddyfeet build intensely while he was building it. I have a couple tandem canoes and need a solo canoe. My...

I have built 2 teardrop trailers mine which is about 8 years old now. And one for a friend that’s 4 years old. The friends one came back to me this weekend because they noticed mold on the wall. After lifting the mattress up there was mold under it. So I told them just to bring it to the shop so...
