It is lightweight and easy carry to the water or around locks etc.This is the full plywood/epoxy pack for the DIY build of an open “Canadian” style canoe. Everything you need to build the canoe including a few basic tools.Optional built in buoyancy fore and aft that can be fitted with small hatches for storage of valuables etc while on the water. The canoe takes 4" (102mm) round plastic hatches (supplied) and the holes are cut in the bulkheads for them.

However, these bulkheads can be omitted from the build if you prefer so, if you don't want them cut, please ask when ordering.Although this canoe can be built in either 4mm or 6mm plywood but the kit is supplied in 5 or 6mm marine plywood. When you have received and unpacked your kit, it is ready for assembly using the "Stitch & Tape" method of construction. No more tools are required except for a saw to cut off the top edge of the bulkheads which are supplied a little larger to allow varying their positions when fitting. All you need to do is join the planks and bottom panel using a simple "scarfing" method we use in most of our designs and assemble by "stitching" it all together with the plastic cable ties. (The planks can be just stitched together during assembly and joined (scarfed) in position during the gluing process).

Once all the stitches are tight, the hull is aligned and checked before thickened epoxy fillet is applied to the inside seams (plank joints). Then the hull is turned over and the outer seams are rounded, filled then fibre glass tape is laid over them and saturated with epoxy. Once that job is completed the hull is turned back upright, the bulkheads are glued into place and the trim is fitted along with the fore and aft decks. The inside is then prepared and painted/varnished and the hatches are fitted in their holes. Now the outside of the hull can be prepared and painted or varnished.

Once all the painting is done, make or buy a paddle and you're ready for launching. (We can supply paddles, a yoke, seats etc - details supplied with kit). The build takes around 4 or 5 days to complete but has been done in less using fast epoxy. Once complete, you have a brand new canoe for less than the cost of even a cheap, mass produced plastic one and you will have built it! We also run canoe building courses where you build your canoe with us over 3 or 5 days.
