Re: Lofting woes
Sorry, wasn't paying attention to myself, I meant to say station 7. Station 6 is not cut in half.

Re: Lofting woes
All the canoes in Ted's book have a station that occurs within the space of the stem mold, and some builders do indeed leave it out, for some canoes at least. If you include Station 6, the station is cut in half, removing the thickness of the stem mold material from the middle. The two halves are th...

Re: Lofting woes
I'm gonna vote no on a poster board batten. This video has a couple of ideas at the 4:10 mark. He's transferring plans rather than drawing them, but the battens should work either way. BTW that blending curve he's talking about is $50 Canadian! Rich actors, smh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8cEZ...

Re: Lofting woes
Here's Station 0 and the Stem Mold with a 2" grid. The station is obviously a half pattern but the stem is the full pattern. Station 0 Mushroom.PNG Stem Mold.PNG To find the height of the tallest station for any canoe (at least in Canoecraft ), go across the line of profile values and find the ...

Re: Lofting woes
Hi Radley I applaud your diligence in understanding the lofting process. It's the foundation of everything that comes after and you need to get it right. My concern is that you have gathered information from diverse sources and expect it all to agree. My guess is that there are at least two schools ...

It took a little while to find it, but here's a thread on lofting the stations for a Freedom 17, created by forum member Cruiser : http://buildersforum.bearmountainboats.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4658 He cut station molds from the lofted plans, and then compared them to a set of plans he bought fr...

Re: Lofting woes
Hi Radley You are referring to other sources here for the definition of depth, but for the Ranger I would want to use the definition that Ted Moores uses. From Canoecraft page 31: The depth of a canoe is measured amidships from the gunwales to the bottom of the hull. As for your drawings, something ...

Re: Lofting woes
Hi Kanu Your math is a bit off, but your plan drawings sound like they are pretty close. I like to convert the mold offsets to straight inches if I have to do math on them. 2-00-6 = 24 3/4" 0-11-5+ = 11 11/16" the difference is 13 1/16" Keep in mind this defines the depth to the INSID...

Re: staining ash
Bear Mountain has this in the FAQ on their website Can I stain my canoe before fibreglassing, or will this interfere with epoxy adhesion? Yes, you can use stain as long as it is not oil-based. For more info on aniline dyes, see Kayaks You Can Build, which includes details on three kayaks Ted built u...

Re: number of strips needed for 15' ranger.
This Bear Mountain kit comes with 64 strips, but their width is 13/16" not 3/4" so that might make a bit of difference. It's said to be enough strips for any canoe except the Nomad and the Prospector. https://www.bearmountainboats.ca/collections/canoe-kits-and-building-materials/products/c...
