Hello, from the UK

[Steve Gresty]

Hello to one & all,
Just want to introduce myself, I have been watching the site for a while & now think it's time to join in. Apologies in advance for any mistakes I may make,as I am new to this forum. I have built a cedarstrip in the last couple of years,finally getting her wet last year, and "boy have I got the bug now" I have just purchased (last weekend) a wood canvas canoe that I may need some help with various questions, that I will no doubt have, when I thoroughly assess her this weekend hopefully.
This site seems to be a realm of information on wood canvas canoes, which info on this subject can be thin on the ground here in the uk
Best regards
Steve

Welcome to the fold, Steve.
Wooden canoes might not be as "thin on the ground" in the UK as you expect.
You needn't rely solely on virtual community.
There is a WCHA Chapter in the UK!

The Chapter Head is;
David Houghton
Wayside House
Moorlands Dr
Pinkneys Green
Maidenhead
Berks SL6 6QG England
United Kingdom
01628 674666 or International +44 1628 674666
