: I've really been enjoying this board and have learned much from everyones'
: experiences (and Nick's book). I was going to build a kayak, but I've
: found myself enjoying canoeing much more recently (and I have a CLC Cape
: Charles already!). I'm thinking about building a canoe stripper this
: winter, but I can't find plans for the type of canoe I'm interested in.
: I'm looking for a high performance solo canoe plans in the 16 - 17 ft
: range. I currently paddle a Wenonah Prism and have thought of taking the
: lines off it and making it a little narrower and have more tumblehome, but
: I don't know what I'd end up with (performance wise). Does anyone have any
: links/info to plans for this type of canoe?
: Thanx's

Brian look at the Redbird in the "canoecraft" book I build this canoe and paddle it solo all the time. It is fast and handles very well even without the keel. I paddle the boat from the center with a single or dobble paddle and it is fast.
