I built two of these canoes, one 10’-6” and the other 11’-2” long and both are about 27” wide. The smaller boat is sold (Have fun Jennifer!) but the longer one is still available. These are Skin-on-Frame boats, constructed of a wooden skeleton, covered with a skin of fabric. The fabric is waterproofed, and tough, and the frame is made of lightweight wood, resulting in a light, responsive boat.

At about 28 lbs. this canoe is easy for most anyone to carry around, and car topping is a breeze. The canoe is easy to store; small enough to hang up inside a garage, or under the eaves of a house. She is perfect for exploring lazy rivers, hidden coves and backwaters or just tooling around the pond or quiet lake. She makes a fine fishing craft as well - ready to go whenever you are.

Once you're seated in the boat she's stable, relaxed to use, goes where you want, and uses either a single or double paddle with equal ease. Maximum recommended capacity is 200 lbs.

This 11' - 2" canoe is essentially brand new, having been out for only a couple of test runs. It's a fun little boat! Included with this boat is a slightly lengthened standard production kayak paddle.
