Selway-Fisher 50/50 canoe


Recommended Posts

Posted

We have made a little progress on our new project, a sailing canoe by Paul Fisher. Yesterday they promised us a 50-degree day here in N Texas, but it snowed and stayed in the 30s anyway. I fired up a couple big space heaters in my little shop and started epoxying the seams anyway. Gave her a shave this morning, and I'm going to finish filling in the seams and apply the 2" tape to them today. We left a few ties in both ends til we figure out exactly what we're gonna do there.

The red boat, "Caleb", is the original boat from this design. I believe it was modified a bit, in that the decks were well rounded over. The plans call for a peaked deck, which I think looks better. I've seen one other boat built from Paul's 50/50 drawings. I have some pictures of it, and if you want them, give me an email address and I'll forward them to you. I also have a few construction photos from the original project.
