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 is made either in plywood sections that produce an effect more in keeping with the visual effect of a birch bark canoe.
