No experience with this but I would try a large diameter pool noodle with a slit?….lots cheaper

Great report, thanks for the museum pics. I met Kirk Wipper (sp?) and looked at canoes many years ago when the collection was kept at a summer camp in some odd old buildings. Amazing to see what it has become! Have to make it there someday.

How about a report on the museum? Really want to go someday. Pics would be amazing if they let you take any

Welcome. Used to hang out at CanoeSport on weekends, driving 3 hours up from central OH. Great shop, great folks, travelled with Ned and Ron a couple times. Bought several boats there. Great forum here. Hope you get back on the water soon!

Have to agree. Glad for the continuation of the company but if I buy from them again I would ask for no logo…the old design was much classier.

Welcome! Happy to see some young folks getting introduced to the sport. Pics always welcomed.

I understand that…used to be like that. But as I have said here before, a canoe is a tool and tools get used. At least it’s the sort that won’t rust. The wonderful experience of paddling is worth more to me than the scratches. It’s as close to being graceful as I will ever get 😉

Those baggies shorts were THE shorts of choice for paddlers….at least in the midwest and down to the NOC back in the day.

At least you have a lifelong memory and a “topper” when campfire tales are told.

Great job…a canoe is just a tool…and tools get used. At least this one won’t rust 😉

Phenomenal TR…thanks so much for taking us along. Glad it ALL worked out at the end and you are happy.

Not sure I would call myself an expert but know Apple pretty well…Find My works from any Apple device and from your account at iCloud.com from any computer. Here’s a complete description for interested Apple folks. https://www.apple.com/icloud/find-my/

Apple devices have a built in feature called Find My which can give the location of any of your devices or people you share locations with. You can lock, erase the device, or place a message on the lock screen remotely. You can also make any device play a sound to help find it around the house...

Looks like fun to me! Considering the cost of getting US made canoes to Europe those are some dedicated paddlers.

Welcome! Look forward to some trip reports from across the pond!
