Wooden Canoes are in the Blood
Here is a 15 ft 50# 1963 model ser#172091. It came to me with a sailing rig but no rudder pintels. I attached rudder mounts and had to move the factory painter ring to the deck. I removed the front seat and installed a single thwart to hold the mast. Since I had also installed a center portage thwart I made a short lee board bracket to fasten to the portage thwart instead of a standard lee board bracket. I'll have to sail it to see if it works. Got it off Ebay over two years ago. Needed mainly new canvas and deck stem repair. We'll see. I may find it necessary to move the mast thwart back.
