In Response To: 40 ft Canoe? (Jay Babina)

: Was that a typo or a 40 ft canoe really? What's your intentions for it if so?

: Nice model. I thought the hull looked a bit tender for a canoe but if it's
: 40', I guess that's the reason.

Hi Jay,

Not a typo and it is not going to be mine. I am a very small part of this project. I was asked to pull the lines off of a winning war canoe and make reduced forms for some strip doubles.(70% reduction for 28'x 20") Log for the original was second growth cedar and I was amazed how the fair the lines were for a carved canoe.

These folks are very competitive on an international level, made the finals in the worlds sprint championships this year. I am already learning much more than I could ever imagine.

The video will give you an idea of these canoes in action.

Best,

Reg
