Lightweight strip-planked solo double-paddle canoe

We chose the 9.1 mt LOA not to overcomplicate its construction, but to facilitate the availability of a place to build this boat, and at the same time to have internal volume that allows a comfortable cruise.

The project, despite its small size, develops a discrete internal volume allowing to nr. 4 crew members to spend short cruises with good speed and pleasant navigation.The hull lines and the deck are to corner for simplicity of construction, and are harmonized with the hull volume.

Backsplash = backpack kayak.
