Selway Fisher Marine Ply Open Canadian Canoe Kayak, Seat And Mahogany Paddles

Beautiful hand built marine plywood canoe built to exacting standards to Selway Fisher plans, the leading Canadian Canoe designers http://www.selway-fisher.com/Opcan16.htm Internally lined in fibreglass mesh fabric and epoxy coated for waterproofing, toughness and strength Externally epoxy coated for complete water tightness It is 10 ft long and 26 inches across widest point. Maximum depth is 10 inches It weighs just 42 lbs / 19 kg so easy for one person to pick up and load single handed onto a car It has a v -shaped hull which means it tracks through the water beautifully and is very fast - much faster than a usual flat bottomed open canoe It has two watertight sealed bulkheads with watertight hatches to store equipment in and for buoyancy It is paddled by sitting on the bottom and using a double paddle like a kayak It comes complete with an adjustable back strap to lean on and a waterproof beanbag seat for comfy paddling Has been on the water (fresh water, not sea) once only since being made to ensure water tightness She swims beautifully Will support paddlers and kit up to 250 lbs. Any inspection welcome prior to bidding The only minor thing to note is that due to the thickness of the exterior epoxy coating, it has turned a little milky in places, I have tried to shown in pictures, but the beauty of the wood shines through Includes a beautiful set of mahogany asymmetric double paddles with copper end protector tips Included also soft 100% cotton lead/tether rope with solid brass shackle I travel throughout the UK with my work, I may be able to deliver in person for a contribution towards any off route miles, please e-mail me to see if you are near one of my regular routes Happy bidding
