    A perfect paddling day - I didn’t go

    You know you. Like a fire, build it slow, and watch it grow! No new news hear. Reinjury makes it much more complicated, and much longer to recover. Good luck.

    Show us pictures of your canoe vehicle with boat(s)

    Why not! Its all relative! Not great on gas, and mantance is costly,for sure. Probably need a laywer on retainer as well. But cool. Never really thought about high end transport, to the degree of classic vettes, mg's, and jaguars. But if you gotta get on the water, ther might be no better way...

    All ready to go, but it will only carry one canoe. She is lifted with a full aero skid plate. And for winter travel it can be outfitted with studded tyres. I know this thread is canoes and cars, but I could not afford to get my canoe up there. Truly insane car!

    Tarp type and set-up style, and let's see some pix

    Pat, nice aera. Is that a durston tent? If it is what poles do you carry? I always carry a tarp, either a 10x10 or a asymmetric. They have saved me a few times. With them, I carry a pre maid ridge line (like the one I use for a hammock tarp) and 6-8 guy lines of different lengths. You guys are...

    Northstar Polaris dedicated solo just arrived!

    Congrats, sweet boat. Depending on your rack system, there are "L" shaped holders, that secure the sides more, they bolt on. It's seems like boats with tumbohome are more subjective to "dancing around" on the rack, if that makes sense. But great boat hope you enjoy it!

    2/19-21/24 Big Pond Catskills NY (+ hearing aid discussion)

    Patrick, what is the name or brand hearing aid is that? I would guess it works on blue tooth. I also hear some can connect to the tv. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks

    A lot of hiking/portage trails, with a healthy pinch of bush wacking!

    General Clinton Canoe Regatta

    Thanks for the replys, and I understand you're points. I hear you about the longer vs shorter events. I know it's a race, but it's seems like there is a open class that let all and any go. (No prizes/points) For me it would be a challenge. A fun and grulling one! Even if i just went as a...

    General Clinton Canoe Regatta

    Thanks, I might head up to the aera, to do some recon when the Temps improve. I think I can get my hands on a Grumman. I live in Putnam co ny, so not a crazy drive. I love to do things in my general aera (new york and new england). This seems like a cool chalange, and it gives me something to...

    General Clinton Canoe Regatta

    This sounds like a cool event. I wonder if a boat like a hemlock kestrel could do the open rec class( i know its not optimal). Iam sure it would be a very very long day. Besides c1,2 race boats what do they run for open rec. Iam looking at finishing, and seeing what racing is all about. Thanks.

    A Raven from Scratch

    Is balsa wood a real option? I have never built one, but really enjoy these threads. It even inspired me to buy plans. I've tried to build stems, but, they bow off the form a bit. ( Don't compleatly conform to form). And have a very good feeling I would not be able to cut strips uniformly...

    What are your current solo canoes and how do you like them?

    Me too, the wood rails are nice. And durability vs weight is not to bad, with the aide of some wheels. but after reading a recent post I wonder how tformx is in the cold as for as storage. Also i have heard of people narrowing them, for different effects. A little higher sides would be nice...

    What are your current solo canoes and how do you like them?

    Those echos are pretty cool. i bet it would do good on the NFCT, in the sense it would take a beating, but maybe not as good on big choppy lakes. I have a hemlock kestrel and enjoy it, but need more time in the seat.

    Now I’m in Deep

    She should be proud to have a husband with such fine taste. Have fun, sweet boat.
