Great report. I am putting that area high on my to paddle list. Too bad Spirit Sails folded up shop. I expect 3D printing for an application like this will get cost-effective pretty quickly, if it is not already.

Man, I'd be styling going down the river in that beauty!

I was sloppy and incorrect in allowing this to be called a "raffle" and "fundraiser." This is not a "raffle," nor is it a "fundraiser." This is merely an informal and unenforceable agreement among those of the site's users who have voluntarily agreed to pay funds this year to be used to keep...

In my Wenonah Spirit II with aluminum gunwales, I riveted in aluminum "cable clamps" with a plastic coating, for center paracord tie down points. (Inch worms would work as well, but require twice as many holes, obviously.) I have rarely used them. They seem to work just fine. I have never...

Start – 4” Stop – 20” If it was this, I would have a guess.

YC, that would first require me to log in to facebook. Ain't going to happen. Plus, I am not really in the market for a Rob Roy although that is a very tempting price, especially these days. I was shaking my fist at the sky more in abstract frustration that God would allow facebook to subjugate...

I have enjoyed following your progress. Great thread! Cheers, Dave

Dern you, Facebook! (shaking fist)

If that is not the pinnacle of canoetripping, I don't know what is. Sweet. What time of year?

Can't top a quiet paddle, in late winter, combined with Abbey, Hemingway, Olson, and the like. Cheers.

Welcome aboard. You live in a great place for paddling.

I regret the unavoidable delay. Please bear with me. I will try to make the final product worth waiting for.

dcloots: Thank you. LL Bean still carries some Bending Branches canoe paddles, and has a history of selling true blue canoeing gear. So, I would say edge to Bean, nothing against Cabelas's. Either will work. Two more donations by check, and a handful more by paypal, have come in. Thank you! My...

The Rob Roy seating was in the bilge, precluding any decent single stick stroke by me. The coaming was a bit flimsy-floppy. Mine was not gel coated. I recall considering adding custom wood "gunwales" around the coaming to firm it up. I also recall musing about making a removable yoke. I was...

Sold a Bell Rob Roy long ago. I never liked how it paddled with a single stick. I just never wanted to take it out. I should have given it more seat time but I wanted funds for a Magic. I should have at least given it a chance as a pseudo pack canoe with a double blade. It was relatively...

Doug has kindly agreed to assist me in the youtube. So, hopefully, I can get that together before the soft/reasonably cold water season arrives. The draft idea is interesting but the time limits to respond might be out of control. Still, I might default to that if youtube is too challenging...

Until we get the pictures issue resolved, this is my work-around. It works for me from a windows pc, but I am not sure if it works using other systems: Make sure the curser is in the place where you want the picture to go. Click on "upload attachment". You will see: Insert: Thumbnail Small...

Glad to have you aboard.

Folks have donated some nice prizes, and this can and should be fun for all. Thank you. March is here and it is time for the raffle! Speaking of time, mine is particularly limited right now. I need some help. I have never uploaded a video to youtube. I would like to establish a canoetripping...

I hear that facebook marketplace is draining some listings off craigslist. So, maybe that's part of it. I vowed long ago to never go on facebook, and even used canoe bargains galore would not cause me to break my vow.
