Title: Re: Check out my "new" canoe... Post by happyjack on Jun 7th, 2010 at 8:12pm
Thanks for all the compliments! [smiley=dankk2.gif]
Red makes for a nice "racy" looking canoe. Joe Seliga painted them in all colors of the rainbow. I chose green because it was the color of the Sommers Base Seliga fleet. Specifications? 17" length, 36" max beam, 13" height amidships, full length 3/4" keel, slight rocker. White cedar ribs, 6" western red cedar planking, oak stems, sitka spruce inner gunwales, mahogany outer gunwales, black cherry decks, seats, and thwarts. Hull is covered in #10 canvas, filled and painted in Epifanes epoxy yacht enamel. If you like wood&canvas canoes check out the boats that Alex Comb builds at (You need to Login or Register. The Traveller would be my dream canoe for solo tripping. |
