Several people have built the Bob's Special from Canoe Craft, and used it as a Combi. Sitting backwards in the bow seat seems best to me. It only requires two seats, saving weight, and doesn't mess up the center yoke placement. Compare the Bob's Special to Canoe Crafts Freedom 15, and the Prospector 15. , and see which you like better.

https://ashesstillwaterboats.com/canoe-plans/anglers-special-day/ These plans have an option for the cut-in tumblehome like a Northwind 16 by Northstar. Any combi hull should have this. It makes paddling solo so much easier. Helpful to mount that bow seat pretty far back so it is in better position for solo paddling. |

You're saying to opt for the classic recurved tumblehome over the hard chine? JD |

Stripping that hard chine takes some creativity. I'm sure you can get help with that on this forum. |

It really serves no purpose on a tandem. Sedges is right. Hard chine tumblehome is tougher to build. It appears Ashes has modified the Bob's Special. |
