Sue's Canoe

line drawing

This is a simple 14ft lightweight vee-bottom sailing canoe, that can be made from two sheets of plywood (including the bulkheads and foredeck). Construction is stitch-and-glue (but other techniques can be used).

It was designed for one not-very-large woman (sorry Sue :-) to be able to launch, retreive, car-top, on her own. It was designed to be built in two bolt-together pieces (because Sue's garage is not very large either) but it would be stiffer if built in one.

I think they've made a fantastic job of it !
