thanks so much for sharing your expertise with all of us messabouts. your book is clear, informative and straightforward.

 

i'm looking to build a stonefly this summer and noticed it's an asymmetric canoe. i have 2 questions..

 

why?

 

and could a newbie like me just use the same offsets for both bow and stern? would it affect handling too much?

 

again, i'm humbled that people like you actually take the time to write a book, and have a forum like this.

 

cheers,

Well, yes it is. Why? I don't remember honestly. I am sure I had a reason but I have slept since then.  ;) 

I don't know if you could make the two the same, but I NEVER support or encourage changes to my designs. Not because of ego, but because it becomes a different boat and I don't know what your changes will do to the boat.
