Hey all!
Just stumbled across this forum recently, however it would have been nice to know about it earlier! I've been exposed to canoeing my whole life, but unfortunately it took me a good chunk of my life before I was able to really appreciate the craft. Recently I said goodbye to rentals, and purchased my first canoe. I've been scouring used ads for over 5 months and finally pulled the trigger on a Swift Algonquin 15' for a fantastic price. As 'recreational' as they say this canoe is, it handles like a dream! I think this will be the only canoe I'll need for a good long time.
I came to the forums looking to improve my skills and knowledge of canoes, and to share experiences and ideas with like-minded people. One of my goals in the next couple years will be to build a full size birchbark canoe. Still working on scale models at the moment.
Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures at the moment to share with all of you, but as the summer unfolds, it's only a matter of time!
