Boat Type: Canoe
I have relisted due to timewaster. An extremely rare opportunity to build yourself a stunning native Canadian canoe with all the hard preparation work to build a canoe taken out . This kit is good to build many canoes. I am a master cabinet maker and the Long horse and everything in this unique offering is made to last and accurate tolerances. The long horse, all the stanchions, the Bow and stern profiles formers and steaming box all in with the price,plus more.
Everything you need to set up & start,less of coarse the canoe materials (Red Cedar & other woods) The Long horse, which is 17 foot long and all the stanchion profiles are all made from 18 mm,marine Birchwood ply ,Costing a lot of money It took nearly a month to set up and make all these items ready for the build.&£1000+ for the materials. The picture of the canoe is one ,of two that I made using this long horse & profiles and all the kit. The CANOE is NOTE on sale here ,but the ability to build it is .! The Long horse all the profile, stanchions formers and anything else that could help the build ,plus any advice I will give is added to this package .. It took a month ,plus a lot of expensive in materials to make the long horse and all the stanchions plus the fact that the HULL profiles were professionally cut out with a CNC machine for accuracy. All the kit.
I made up in my workshop which goes with the package, including a steam box , but no materials for the actual canoe building are included. The Red Cedar can be bought (I have a contact)although I made all the cedar hill strips ,I made. About 80 to 90. 17 ft Cedar strips are needed to build one canoe. Also to add,much lighter in weight than a fibreglass canoe of similar length 65-70lbs .
Also The design I decided on was a semi-rocker design . Very beautiful in line and tracks well also could be used as a solo canoeist. These canoes are the Rolls Royce of canoes and will last a lifetime. A fantastic Winter opportunity to build yourself the ultimate canoe for the decerning canoeist. There is about 2 1/2 months full time work to build one of these.
The canoe shown in the photos, featured in several top magazines including Country life & Sussex life. I sadly sold this masterpiece for over £8000.but built one other,which I have kept. Buyer to collect from Eastbourne in Sussex. The long horse is 17ft long & will require help to load onto a sturdy roof set up. THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPERTUNITY
