Re: 19' 9" Chaa Creek Expedition
gluing up some more laminate components... 3 ply, 1/4 maple laminate turns out to be super strong with a slight amount of spring under a lot of pressure

Re: 19' 9" Chaa Creek Expedition
I am sure they work very nice but big, black foam pads are not the look I am going for :-). The hela coils sound very interesting. Most of our paddling involves saltwater so we have to ensure all hardware is for marine use.

Re: 19' 9" Chaa Creek Expedition
I started cutting strips to steam and laminate for seat parts. This canoe is a three seater. I am trying to figure out how to make the middle seat removable and interchangeable with a portage yoke. Maybe big bolts and wing nuts will work for that.
