Solo Skin-on-Frame Canoe Update

[mikethemoneymaker]

Every single time I see Brian in action (I have followed for many years now)You come to appreciate just how masterful he is in all aspects of watercraft and other areas...IMHO He is much much more than just a skillful artist but a true Master. My hat is off to you. If I could knight you and call you sir Brian it would by my honor.

An interesting concept is a narrow hull with an outrigger on the paddler's weak side. Paddling between the hulls results in a straighter course. Adjusting the angles between the hulls while underway compensates for wind and tide. Carrying the hulls is easier if one stands between them, allowing for a straighter spine.

Brilliant. Your skills and ethos blow my mind.

Love the not needed features of the traditional version, dark color as well. Your world of boat building seems endless...

Absolutely amazing Brian!
Can’t wait for those other 2 canoes 🛶
Keep’em coming 🍻

Fantastic looking canoes Brian. I’m really looking forwards to seeing the larger canoe with the potential for rowing as well as double use.

[Ironic_Jihad]

Can't wait to see the rowing canoe!

Looking forward to seeing the next hybrid. I am trying to decide what to build and this sounds good! Your videos and teaching are exceptionally good!

[drlehman]

Really going to be interested in that hybrid solo canoe mentioned near the end. Looking forward to seeing it completed.

Great to see the update, Brian, I'm considering one of your canoe builds, possibly next year, following having enjoyed building and now using the F1 kayak: workshop access is my biggest limiting factor here. I'll check out the instagram feed too. Best wishes.

[CreationsByWill]

Love the idea of these! Would like to build one some day.

[TristanMorrow]

Rowing canoe is definitely something I'm excited to see! :-D

Beautiful canoe, I love to have one. Thanks 👍👍

[BradyPatterson]

These look amazing. I did notice that you weren't tracking well solo paddling (and you mentioned that) but even if learning, that seemed like a lot of movement. I'm used to paddling Chestnut Prospector's or similar canoes and I'm curious your thoughts on your design vs the Prospector. I realize there's a fundamental difference but after having just binged watched hours of you videos, it seems you'd have a pretty solid answer. Also, in your kayak vids you talked about the durability but I didn't hear anything about the durability of this type of canoe vs the more modern ones that use I could have missed it because you covered so much content but wanted to ask.

Thanks for the update Brian. Can you point to me to a resource that says what sort of power tools do you need to build a canoe or kayak? Do you need to have a planer, or is there an approach that lets you get by with just using a table saw?

[philiphicks]

I’m looking forward to seeing if this work for a 16’....and rowing would be an awesome option.

Have you thought about a small 30lb. Thrust trolling motor linked to solar panels with or without a motorcycle battery? Or a slightly larger 12V battery for pontoon setup? With trolling motor on rear or front crossbeam?

DUDE. Bring on the rowboat. I want it.

[jbutzi]

I love your work and videos but, somehow after several viewings, still can't figure out how long you made this boat. Last one was 14 foot by 30 by 12 and this one is 14-6 to 15?? by 30 by 12? TIA! I'm still trying to decide how long to make mine with your system.
