Primer Strip version You can always lower the seat on a regular canoe as well for more stability. All else being equal a longer boat should be more stable than a shorter one so you might have better luck moving up to something around 14', like a Wenonah Vagabond. Alan |

Refer to Wooden canoe heritage association for some history: WCHA Like the: "Wee Lassie"......... design by J.H. Rushton "Wee Robbie"........ design by Rob Macks "Rob Roy"....... design by J. MacGregor Go to John Michne's canoe building page to see his approach to building the Wee Lassie II: Michne's Wee Lassie Also check out Newfoundland Woodworks for both the Wee Lassie and Wee Lassie II designs plus cedar strip kayak hulls: Newfoundland Woodworks Chesapeake Light Craft is another source for ideas and plans. They have a small canoe called the Sassafras that looks very much like a Rushton or MacGregor design: CLC boats When you study these hulls you will find that they look very much like the canoe shown in your link. Build them with or without decks...... add a water tight bulkhead..... Good luck |

essentially looking to build a short/wide canoe with a partially closed deck very similar to this native kayak. |

If you're not set on it being a sit on top design it should be a lot easier to come up with something workable. Alan |
