Lightweight (35 lbs.), easily portaged, solo canoe. Cedar strip/epoxy kit from Newfound Woodworks in Bristol, NH. Perfect for flyfishing with a fairly wide beam and relatively flat bottom. Tracks well with a keel and very little above water exposure to be blown around by the wind.
Built by Russ Sabia of Belmont, Massachusetts and donated to the 7 Lakes Alliance in Belgrade Lakes, Maine to help raise funds to support their land and water conservation efforts around the Belgrade Lakes.This solo canoe is 11′6″ with a 2′4″ beam and took approximately 120 hours to build.
1963 Comet class. 16′, built by Beatons Boats in NJ.
I restored the boat which was still very sound and have been racing it competitively. It is still near minimum weight and full competitive.
Just launched May 15, my Point Comfort 23, in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada.The glass over marine ply hull is to plan, but the interior is mostly mine, including the steam bent white oak t-top frame and marine ply cover, and teak covered vertical surfaces.
