The Baby Kate is a mini development
of our Kate series of open canoes - it is meant as a toy and
not serious use with a child and can be built from a single
sheet of 3 or 4mm plywood. Baby Kate has 5 planks per side
and has a midship depth of 7 3/4” (196mm). To the 70mm
waterline, she will carry 20kg (45lbs).
Below, a Baby Kate stitched together by Adam Gray - and above, finished.
