The culmination of 2 months work - a beautiful boat for two. I go solo for the first ride, then John who helped build it joins me, then my wife Becky.

  • tekartist, did you design this canoe or build it from existing plans. Wonder how hard it would be to have the canoe for a sols person and move the stern seat forward a bit.

    Then the packs and some other gear could go in the bow for proper trim.

  • I built it directly from the book "The Canoe Shop" by Chris Kulcycki. But his company Chesapeake Light Craft make kits for 12 foot solo canoes and bigger 17 footers. They stopped making the 14 foot kit so I made mine from plans in the book.

  • Do the book you are referring to have plans to build other type of canoes also? How many are included? Is the book in print still.

    You mentioned the boats are from kits?
