Free canoe

[Jimmy D]

I have been contacted by a person with a canoe they no longer want, this canoe will be going to the fire pit if not wanted.

The owner cannot find any ID on but says it is at least 60 yrs old, there is a hole for a sail mast in the bow deck.


Is it OK to post contact info here as it is not for sale? I would hate to see this canoe go up in flames. it has until the end of July before it's life is over.

The general policy is to discourage all forms of advertising in these forums, even for free canoes. However, anyone is welcome to advertise a free canoe in the classifieds at http://classifieds.wcha.org/ with full contact information for no charge. Thanks for asking and I hope that you can find a good home for it,

I have already arranged with the owners to take possession tomorrow or Friday.
Actually, Andre is picking it up as he lives 10 minutes away, but we all know, has too many boats already.

He'll hand it over to me on National Canoe Day at the events in Peterborough run by the Canadian Canoe Museum. How cool is that?!

Careful dealing with that Andre' fellow. Argggh! We all know his pirating tendencies.

Rob will be taking possession of two of the coolest bookcases ever created. Much easier to transport that way.

Rob's score

Rob lands himself a very early vertical rib canoe with one piece butternut decks. Glass will come off easily and has stabilized the boat, and all pieces present for patterns. Oooooohhh nice, detail pictures to follow ( if he consents)
