Square stern plans

[memaquay]

For anyone interested in building a square stern, Martin Step has made the plans for the Nipissing available. That is the boat I built last year.Martin offers most of John Winters' designs, have a look around the website.

Here's a nice looking wc square stern, maybe a conversion from a regular canoe, ?

Looks like it. Is there any kind of an angle on the transom?

Thanks Mem !

Good to know they are available !

I've been dreaming ! Especially beings I know someone that has built it !

I did purchase an Alumicraft SB, with a 4hp Evinrude. I'll see how much use it gets !

I don't know, some guy posted that pic on FB and said he was restoring it.

That is definitely a cut off Robin. The designed flatbacks are much wider, a la Grand Laker, and the y sterns have a stem in the back. This can still be useful though. just makes me think that someone building freighters might do ok. I know Doug Ingram is building racing freighters but they are just a narrowed 18 Chestnut. I have a set of 30 year old plans and forms that were given to me for an 18 foot prospector style that would convert to y stern really well.

I should re build my big 20 footer as a square stern. O boy, hope I'm not catching building fever again.
