Plywood Canoes
The Boats in this section are built in the traditional method using a solid form with metal bands over which cedar ribs are bent. The ribs are then sheathed in plywood planks or sheet sections, gunnels and decks fitted and the entire boat sheathed in fibreglass.
The beauty of this boat is its light weight achieved through the use of cedar ribs and high quality 4mm plywood.
The hull can be made either in
a planked style emulating the tradition cedar planked boats of Canada,
or in plywood sections that produce an effect more in keeping with the visual effect of a birch bark canoe.

16' Plywood This canoe is designed to be an all-rounder. It is fitted out as a tandem canoe but handles well solo. Designed with a slight rocker, a moderate hull curvature and low fore and aft profiles it handles well across a range of conditions. It has excellent manoeuvrability, holds a good line and has ample space for gear. The hull is naturally buoyant and therefore has no fitted buoyancy leaving the fore and aft open to view in the traditional style. Depending on preference, seats may be either solid wood, cane or woven webbing. The boat comes with tender lines lines.
