Trout Check out NW Canoe Company. You can get free plans from them for the Merlin plus others. The "New" NW Merlin is 16 feet and has 1" of rocker in the bow and 1/2" in the stern. I built according to the old rockerless design. Download the PDF and take a look at the profile NW Canoe |

The world can be a perfect place if you find someone willing to let you take their craft for a spin before you decide. It would be the pits to build a craft and take her out only to find that you hate the way it handles. One member on this site allowed me to take his NW Merlin for a spin. The design of his craft was the early (1985) Merlin with no-rocker. I was into my test drive for about 3 paddle strokes, and I knew the Merlin was what I wanted. Send out a signal, maybe someone will offer |
