I didn't build it with racing specifications in mind. I just wanted something that she could use for practice. They are quite strict about the rules at nationals. Top finishing and random boats have to go to boat control after each race for weigh in and inspection.

One concave section is where the gunnels meet the stern. I used 16 foot lumber for the gunnels on a 17 foot canoe. Also the stringers compressed some between the stations, due to the tension of the skin.
