Re: Sabot
In Response To: Sabot (Jason)
: I have never used a sabot. Al highly recommends them, and a friend who has
: taken a couple of Al’s courses uses them on 5 of his canoes. The sabot
: looks to be real easy and good way to make strong ends. It is solid wood
: so it does add a little weight. but we are still talking 50lbs canoes for
: 17 ft trippers.
Thinking that I will try it on next boat. Might eliminate the contortions at the ends of the bottom strips. One benefit maybe worth the additional weight is you have substantially more than the thickness of a strip at high wear areas. You should be able to grind away on the beach for years just replacing lost glass.
Thanks
