I'd look at Gilpatricks Puddleduck. The book is near impossible to find though. 14 feet long and 34 inches wide.

: First post in a long time.

: I have completed a Great Auk and a Guillemot, used for day trips
: and some camping by my wife and myself.

: I'd like a small open canoe for tooling around calm water and
: fishing. I'n a 225 pound 6'2" paddler, so I can't go too
: tiny. There's a 3 three year old grandaughter too, so good
: initial stability is needed.

: So far I've looked at the WCHA plan list, several websites, and I'm
: thinking of Rob Roy or Wee Lassie style canoes in the 11-13 foot
: range. I also have come into a pretty good stock of beautiful
: clear, straight grained redwood reclaimed from a deck that was
: removed from my parent's house. I'm thinking 3/16 redwood strips
: and simple details to keep the boat light.

: Please give me any feedback on particular designs or experiences
: you've had. It will be good to take on another project.

: Thanks
