: One more bit of information needed to make an estimate. What is the girth of
: the canoe at it's widest point? (measure gunnel to gunnel around the
: bottom)

It's about 132 cm (52 inches) when I measure on the form. I'm not quite sure what "the girth" is, but I measured the edge (where the strips is supposed to be) of the center form where the canoe is widest. Hopefully that is the information needed...:-)
