: Is a double paddle canoe technically a kayak? Well, close enough.
: I've been planning this build for the last year and a half, but only recently
: got started on it, having been re inspired by a similar boat in a
: WoodenBoat magazine article.

: It's a Wee Lassie SOF solo canoe, 10'6"x27", about 18 lbs or so.
: Alaskan yellow cedar frame, with Red Oak ribs. Mostly lashed, but with
: some epoxy here and there. I used methods and ideas from Robert Morris'
: "Building Skin on Frame Boats" book as well as Tom Yost's ideas
: and some of his methods. The WB article helped in places, too.

: Anyway, I'm gosh darn pleased with how it turned out, though I have yet to
: paddle it. Questions and comments welcome!

: Dave Gentry

: Yes, the boat is skinned and ready to paddle!

Hi Dave,

The boat looks great. I've had the same idea, though not with the clear skin. Am working on a round chine idea that would work for a canoe really well as a SOF.
