Wooden Canoe Maniac
I just picked up a sailing rig for a Penn Yan canoe.
The boom & sprit measure about 116" each, so I calculate it would fit the 45 square foot 'Breeze' rig mentioned in Penn Yan's catalogue.
Here's some other pics:
I'm missing some stuff. Can anyone give me help finding...
* The two rudder pivot brackets - the ones that attach to the canoe itself. It uses 5/16" pins. Note the nifty pin release mechanism built into the upper bracket.
* The front seat must have had a hole for the mast - which is 1 7/8" diameter. Anybody have a bracket to sell?
* And I'll need a seat for the mast - I imagine it's just a block of wood screwed into the keel that has a hole in it that accepts the 7/8" diameter end of the mast. Can anyone provide me with a pic of what one looks like?
* And I need a sail. Anybody have the dimensions?
Am I missing anything else? Like, did it use pulleys?
