Given your weight I'd consider the Freedon Solo and converting it to a tandem. It had displacement weights where you are looking, low bow height, etc. It has a lower stability factor so you would have to consider that. Some of the others here might be able to comment on how this would perform as a t...

Just so we're clear here, you do not plan to sit on the thwarts but will either paddle on your knees or sitting on the bottom (with or without some padding). If this is the case I would think that there are two choices. 1. placing the thwarts pretty much where the seats would go so the thwart could ...

We glassed the outside this weekend using Raka. Based on this experience I would not have a concern doing it solo if I had to. We had previousy done a pre-coat so I don't know if that made a difference. We followed the measuring method from John Michne's website using clear plastic glasses. The meas...

I just checked the latest edition of Canoecraft and while it does not have explicit details the shape is pretty much there on page 90. I'd just use a 1x2 and shape it according to the profiles in the book and call it done. The profile in the book is almost to scale for a 1x2 so you should be able to...

We used plain carpenters glue on our redbird with both White Cedar and Red Cedar strips without any noticible glue lines. As long as you clamp the strips together tightly (especially between stations) you shouldn't have any issues. We had two of us on our build and one would pull the strips together...
