    Colden Dragonfly Repair

    I think you will have no choice but to fill the holes with a kind of epoxy filler. Once this has hardened, you can then sand them down, smooth them out and then paint them the appropriate color. There is such filler (EPOXY BASE FILLER) especially for boat building and it is ready to use. ;) or...

    Converting Penobscot 16 into a solo...

    @Brightraven and if everything works to your satisfaction, you should think about another seat. Why? So that you don't have to sit so much on the pieces of wood when you are sitting on the edge of the board. This is very uncomfortable in the long run. A seat with a wider seat surface is much...

    Converting Penobscot 16 into a solo...

    Conversion to solo is certainly possible. I did the same with my Wilma. (Old Town 146k) No problem at all.

    ;) Yes, tipis convey the great feeling of freedom and adventure - I think Yes, of course we swapped our boats with each other to try out a different one. But I remain loyal to my Wilma!

    but Wilma is also a beauty!!! :love: We then spent Saturday's morning program, under the expert guidance of the ACA instructors, using the paddle a little more beautifully and effectively. Conscious, slow paddling/riding with the right technique makes even the “fat Wilma” look elegant. . ...

    small, local Canadier Camp

    last Weekend ... Matthias and Gerhard had again invited me to the “Canadier Camp: 16-18.05.2025 in Erfelden, at KC Darmstadt” Of course I'm going there again, it's only two hours away. That's what I thought. Roadworks without end on the route - but I got there despite that. After setting up...

    Bow ballast for solo paddling: the more unusual, the better

    You don't need a huge river or a raging mountain stream to get into trouble with a canoe. Sometimes a navigable water level of 70 cm at a leisurely flow speed is enough to get stuck on a stone, or you can't avoid a tree trunk lying in the water, or the current pushes the boat into a bush hanging...
