Re: Champlain 16"
I lowered the seats by 1.5 inches. This action significantly improved the canoe's stability. Thanks

Re: Champlain 16"
Tandem with my wife. We have paddled together over the years however I would say we are not very experienced. My wife sat and I kneeled mist if the time which helped. First experience in anything remotely like the Champlain. By the way people kept taking pictures of the canoe - quite the experience!

Champlain 16"
I just finished my Champlain 16' and launched it for its maiden trip this past weekend...!
The canoe felt tippy. I placed the stern seat closer to the middle but kept the seat height at 10.5 inches. Aside from moving the seats lower any ideas of how I can make the canoe more stable?

Epoxy problems
I finished my epoxy coat some months ago and now see a dark stain forming in one area. Any suggestions on how to remove the stain. Do I sand the affected hull section?

Proper length of the strongback for a 16' Champlain
Does anyone know what the proper length of the strongback should be for a 16 foot Champlain?
