Curious about Wooden Canoes
When building my 16' Prospector stripper I reduced the rocker by a third and the depth to thirteen and a half inches. After using it for a few trips I decided that there was too much freeboard, we got blown around too much, so built another with twelve and three quarter inches depth. This has been my ideal canoe for several years, carrying my wife and me on trips up to ten days.
Now I am finding that the stripper is difficult to lift and am looking for an ultralight 16' - with wood trim - but they all seem to be fourteen inches depth or more. What do I do?
