Just so long as you can get it out of the kitchen.
When I was into making kayaks, there was a bloke over in the US who made a 17' kayak (a stripper) in his basement, but then he couldn't get it out. Had to pull the window frame out first.
Looks great by the way.

Fantastic
I did notice the kitchen stuff in the background of the first pic
I'm envious ... to be up to that stage ... when's the christening?
Looks like the outer stem was put on put on after the stripping was complete. Is that right? I haven't read of/seen that method b4.
Wow great effort.Ramps

Very impressive.
If you are married, you must have a gem of a wife to let you do that in the kitchen.

Very pretty indeed. How much does it weigh?

allow that in the kitchen.
Is it an opitcal illusion or does your floor have waves in it

Haha. I checked before I started if I could get it out of the Kitchen. No problems there. The doors are big enough. I do have to buy a new car to transport it though...didn't think that one through.

I should have it in the water in the next couple of weeks. Just finishing off the paddles... no point lauching If I can't go anywhere
The all up weight of the Canoe is approx 25 Kgs.
Ramps - Not sure what you mean by the outer stem? If you are referring to the laminates on the bow they were put on after the strips were completed.
Thanks for all the compliments.
BTW - building in the kitchen was nothing - My next project will be a runabout made in the bedroom. hahaha

A lovely job and finish. I'd be afraid to use it anywhere that doesn't have a nice soft beach to launch from. It's amazing the force exerted by a loaded canoe on a pointy rock! DAMHIK.
Cheers

yeah the stem will be the laminates on the bow, some also have laminates that the strips are attached to at the bow and stern (inner stems) and they are often attached so the strips stop at the stem. many sea kayaks don't have ant stems at all.Ramps
