: I am going on a 7 day expedition in Woodland Caribou PP later this
: summer, and I wanted to have a canoe due to the 30+ portages we
: are going to have. We did Quetico PP with kayaks 2 years ago
: with 11 portages, and while it was OK, we ended up having to do
: most of them with 2 trips. This time we wanted a canoe so we can
: use a portage pack, and I wanted to keep this boat very light
: for obvious reasons, a one walk portage. 3.2 oz glass (doubled
: on the football, single everywhere else) 3/16 strips, and strip
: decks will help, but I really want to do cedar or redwood
: gunwales instead of ash. I doubt if I would bash this boat on
: rocks, but I was wondering if anyone here has done a canoe this
: way, and if so, how well did it hold up? I know this is a very
: subjective question because use and care make the biggest
: difference.

What design is your awesome canoe? I love it.
