I bought a copy of <a href=\"http:\/\/bearmountainboats.com\/shop\/#!\/~\/product\/category=2192082&amp;id=8254843\">Ted Moore&#8217;s Canoecraft<\/a> and read it through and through many times. Building a canoe does require a shop space with a fair amount of room though.<\/p>\n<p>Which brings us to now.\u00a0 I&#8217;m currently working at a farm that has a large woodwork shop and a sawmill. My employers have graciously allowed me use of the space and the equipment to make the canoe project a reality.<\/p>\n<p>The design I&#8217;ve chosen is the <a href=\"http:\/\/bearmountainboats.com\/plans\/canoe-plans\/#!\/~\/product\/category=2192040&amp;id=8201271\">Huron Cruiser 15-9<\/a> which is one of the plans that are given as a table of offsets in the 2nd edition of Canoecraft.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve decided to keep a blog of the project as a way to track my progress and time. Mostly for myself, but I know that I&#8217;ve spent many hours reading a lot of other canoe building blogs and forums so if I can be of help to any future builders so much the better.<\/p>\n<p>The canoe is designed by Bear Mountain Boats. Here are the specs they give for it:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Length 15\u20199\u2033<br \/>\n\u2022 Maximum beam 32.5\u2033<br \/>\n\u2022 Beam waterline 30.25\u2033<br \/>\n\u2022 Beam gunnel 31\u2033<br \/>\n\u2022 Bow height 22\u2033<br \/>\n\u2022 Centre Depth 13.5\u2033<br \/>\n\u2022 Draft 4\u2033<br \/>\n\u2022 Displacement 335 lbs.<br \/>\n\u2022 Wetted surface 25.5 sq.ft.<br \/>\n\u2022 Weight to immerse 121 lb\/in.<br \/>\n\u2022 Prismatic coefficient 0.543<br \/>\n\u2022 Weight 45 to 55 lbs.<\/p>\n<p>It was a toss up between that design and the ever popular Prospector. In the end I decided I would be soloing it fairly often and would appreciate the lighter weight and didn&#8217;t need the extra carrying capacity. I also expect to be using it on the ocean a fair bit so the lower windage would be a bonus as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I was a teenager I&#8217;ve wanted to build a cedar strip canoe.
