The Ranger is a simple multi-purpose canoe design for first time or young builders who want a quick, simple and low cost boat to get them onto inland waterways. Although a single chine design she still has graceful lines and she can be built both in 12' and 16' versions either as a simple open canoe or as a decked kayak with built-in buoyancy and stowage spaces. Beam in both versions is 32" (0.8m) and 2 sheets of 4 or 6mm Exterior ply are required for the construction. The plans come free as part of our Manual of Ply/Epoxy Construction Techniques or may be purchased separately.

Please note - the basic Ranger 12/16 plan is supplied free with our Ply/Epoxy Canoe Manual. The full plans, which you can purchase here include the basic 12/16 plan along with several additions and modifications which include details for a float/outrigger, 8' version, 17' V bottomed version, 16' version with small vertical transom and a 24' version.
