try this site address. I think I got it right this time http://members.aol.com/profm/SailingCanoe/sailcanoe.html

It looks like a nice take on a sailing canoe. I think a push-pull type tiller set up would work better. You could use a long tiller to get yourself closer to the center of the boat for better balance. I think I'd reverse the angle of the stern.....don't think it would harm anything and it might look a bit better. Building ample decks with sealed bulkheads would give some added security......maybe even a bit of a side deck with an ample coming (sp??). I like the lee board setup and the sail. A nice lightweight tanbark dacron would be a handsome and nostalgic touch.......or some of that "egyptian cotton" looking dacron. Sorry for the bad address, garland

: You can aadd a sail to most any canoe. There is a web site with a guy who
: built a sunnyside cruiser rigged to sail with a transom stern and rudder.
: www.enter.net/~skimmer/building/building.html Here are other sites
: www.profm/SailingCanoe/sailcanoe.html www.duck-trap.com (plans for
: lapstrake canoes and they have a balanced ketch rig plan for sale too)
: Iain Oughtred's Macgragor canoe is absolutely beautiful....lug rigged,
: glued lap ply 12' long can be built 13.5' or so. He has a larger balanced
: lug rigged design too. These are decked canoes. info is at
: www.duckflat-woodenboats.com.au

: www.tyrone.u-net.com/ (has some sailing canoes-mostly more modern types
: that are more performance oriented) Prospector models have been used for
: sailing canoes too. Just choose a nice stripper design to build and build
: a rig from some plans. You can beef up the stern and add some gudgeons and
: pintles for mounting a real rudder. there used to be some books from John
: Bull on building a drop-in sailing rig for your canoe, but I can't locate
: the information. good luck, garland
