Title: Re: Check out my "new" canoe...

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.
