Beautiful! What model are these canoes?
Re: Lined up after Shower
Thanks Grumble !
Boat in the foreground is my first. It originated from Popular Mechanics, I believe it was from the May issue, 1991.
Left to right.The Pomeroy Special (shortened version of Bruce Kunz's 38 Special.
Next is Pearl, it is a Bob Brown Pirate, that I added tumblehome to. One of my favorites.
Third boat standing is also a solo I designed, similar to the 38 Special, except I spaced the forms to make it Asymmetrical. The widest station is 6" aft of center.
The Fourth is a symmetrical solo I designed. I named it Nokomis.
The Fifth is similar to one of Gene Jenson's designs.
Six is a MCA Osprey, stretched to 18.5'.
Seven is the 38Special as designed by Bruce Kunz.

Re: Lined up after Shower
Once upon a time, the 38 Special was on my short-list for a solo canoe. But it seems the plans are no longer offered for sale. Did you get yours from Northwest?
Re: Lined up after Shower
According to this post at MyCCR http://www.myccr.com/phpBB3_PROD/viewto ... 48&p=50039 the Merlin used to be a smaller canoe, and the 38 Special was a 16 foot version of it. I believe that Northwest's current Merlin at 16 feet is either identical, or very similar, to the 38 Special.KenC wrote:Once upon a time, the 38 Special was on my short-list for a solo canoe.

Re: Lined up after Shower
To be sure, I'd ask Dennis Davidson of Northwest.
And Yes the 38Spl. is a computer enlarged Merlin as designed by Bruce Kunz.
Another way to obtain a canoe designed by Bruce that is very similar to the Merlin, except the stem forms, is the Minnesota Canoe Asc. Kootenay. I have it somewhere.
I'll check and get back to you.
