your last sketches are a good view of my thoughts. Nevertheless, I had completely forgotten what comes as your last point : Eventually, the boat...
Latestarter your sketch is brilliant ! This is exactly the situation. The only solution resides in foaming inside the walls of the hull,...
Thank you for your answers. Latestarter describes fairly well the water entry issue. The canoe has deck holes just like a kayak, and bails in...
Hi, it's been a while ! I need your insight to help me figure how to handle a big buoyancy debate in our paddling federation these days. I paddle...
That's great. In a few sentences you all got me to understand fairly well the why and how about stern shape - at my level, not pretending to...
So, why do sail boats have a transom ?
OK. Although I understand the narrow and long hull, in order to minimize the wave making, I don't get how the narrow stern is better than a blunt...
Hi, Sorry if this has been discussed yet, but I'm growing lazy seeing 65 pages to read ... I was wondering why most rowing or paddling hulls...

Thanks Darthcluin. Actually, the idea is the other way round, in order to clear the front for paddling purpose. The front iato shown here is...
I was wondering if it's possible to get rid of the front iato on an outrigger canoe (paddled only, no sail activity therefore less stress on the...
I have got a handfull of veneer, and was wondering if it could actually replace the glass fabric.
OK, what about gluing wood veneer instead of fiberglass ?
I'd like to use butt joints instead of scarfs in my plywood pirogue, in order to keep the overall length (my ply is rather short). I wonder if...
ancient k : no problem, to be honest I do love kayaks and kayak trips ... but I'm on a different mood these days :cool: Tyni T : that's...
baidarkas and kayak are not strictly speaking from the same design nor purpose. greenland kayaks, as far as I can see and understand, where...
to stay on the main subject, some very cool design here http://www.stanfordinn.com/innlight/canoe.html Well, the 9 men outrigger looks a bit...
just for the record, if someone follows the same path : I tried quickly with a sharp V shaped (foam core) and the kayak steered well, with very...
What a heart breaking sight. The man weeps from the beginning, as if he knew ... In his last message we hear a very tired man fighting in order...
