This design is a slightly smaller
sister to our Explorer 16' open strip planked canoe - in this
case we have used a similar hull design with a 'U' shaped
mid body with plenty of tumblehome in the topsides making
her easy to paddle and very stable. Construction is from 5
or 6mm Cedar strip glued edge to edge over a building jig.
The jig uses mould sections which are computer faired and
given full size on the plans. She can be set up for single
use but the drawings show seats for up to 3 people.
LOD 14'10" (4.52m); Beam
at WL 2'10" (0.85m); Beam at gunwale 2'8" (0.81m);
Hull depth amidships 12 1/2" (0.31m); Approx. wht. 50
lbs (23 kg).
