Oar & Paddle
PADDLE CAT
The boat was designed and built in the spring and summer of 2024. The hulls are made of 1/4 inch birch plywood. Construction is tape and glue with 4 ounce fiberglass clothe overlay. Mahogany deck is from all salvage and recycled materials. The boat paddles very easily and is also very stable. Pictures are from the actual maiden launch on the northern ramp at Kezar lake.
