Re: Gunnels/ gunwales Advice

I have limited experience with canoe gunwales (only one canoe build)... I coated the inside of my scuppers and the surface that mates to the hull.

Re: Hiking seats for Sailing Canoe

Opie8man, I don't really have comments on your hiking seats, but I am curious as to your sailing canoe design. Any details?
