This is a sailing canoe with a difference, it has 5 watertight compartments and a reinforced mid section a 6' 6" long cockpit that you either paddle or row from. With the dagger board and rudder up it draws 4" fully laden. Fast under oars and fun to sail and with clear interior you can even sleep full length aboard, ideal expedition and camping boat. Great family project ! You provide the the 4 sheets of 4 or 6 mm and a single sheet of 8 or 9 mm marine or exterior WBP plywood some small section Spruce or Douglas fir for the stringers.
