Ad Hoc, thanks for the straightforward answer. rwatson, hadn't noticed that before. Will follow you advice.
That was one of our first ideas. We can't seem to find any used ones listed for sale. I've searched ebay, and used craigtempest to search all the...
Thank you.
12-16 hours a day for we hope only 3 days but could be as long as 8. We will be using rowing oars with the sliding seat and pedal powered...
We are all in great shape. We are doing the everglades challenge instead of our annual fitness competition this year. Started a new workout...
The canoe will need to carry 3 people and 500 pounds of gear. For a total of 1000 pounds. We plan to make a 300 mile trip in it as fast as possible.
Fuel efficiency in this case the fuel being human power (oars and pedal power) supplemented by solar power. Basically I want it to move...
It will be based on an existing design. I would like to follow it as closely as it needs to be for an accurate prediction of hull efficiency. I...
I want to model a 30 foot canoe. I'm between BearboatSP and Free!Ship. Free!Ship seems to be the better software, but BearboatSP is specific to...
I'm looking into designing a efficient 30 foot canoe at speeds between 4-6 knots. Would a bulbous bow help with efficiency on a boat this size?...
This design is the one I'm looking at. I would probably put a transom at the back too. [IMG] http://makeacanoe.com/opencanoesover17.htm
Looks sweet! Any opinion on the dragon boat design?
I really appreciate all the help you guys are giving, and being patient with my crazy ideas. What you said about being able to build two has me...
http://makeacanoe.com/opencanoesover17.htm What about something like the 24' canoe here?
Ok that makes perfect sense. Would it be efficient to build one out of plywood and resin with a flat plywood bottom? Or would our hull need to...
So we have settled on extending a canoe. Building a new boat from scratch goes beyond our ability and time limit. 24 foot seems to be the maximum...

So what about using something like this and adding length to the middle? I cant seem to find the brand but it looks to be the shape we need....
http://youtu.be/pYr1_2F4Ez0 So this is sorta what we wanted to do. Just with a much lighter deck.
I was just looking at ocean row boats that had a similar hull. Our plan to sleep one at a time would work nicely if we built a small sleeping...
