  A glass bottom canoe!

STATS

Length: 12'

Width: 24" @waterline, 34" at sheer

Weight: ~40 pounds

Capacity: 325 pounds

 

When my daughter was born, I realized it would be a few years until she was piloting the JAM or RIP herself so it was time to look for a bigger boat we could paddle together.  The pirogue shape made it ideal to add a clear panel in the bottom to view the bottom below to keep the passenger happy.

 There are a lot of 16 footers out there but I wanted a more compact size for portability.  The close to plumb bow and stern maximize the waterline length for maximum speed.  The boat paddles well and has a good combination of tracking and turning.  The width and flare of the mid section make the boat very stable. 

 

The boat features the trademark asymmetrical bow and stern decks and a "wavy" skeg.  Further features include a cup holder and airtight bow and stern compartment for safety and to stash "stuff". 

 

A picture of this boat was published in the Launchings section of WoodenBoat!
