Curious about Wooden Canoes
Hi all,
I just joined the forum to try to get some information on a 16 foot Chestnut that I just bought. Does anyone know what model this would be, or the approximate year of manufacturing?
There are no logos remaining since the boat was restored about 24 years ago. However, I have a copy of the work invoice, and the restorer, Roger Foster (Carlisle Canoes) calls the boat a 16' Chestnut.
Here's the work he did in June of 2000: "General repairs to 16 ft Chestnut canoe, including new inwales, new outwales, 9 ribs, 43 feet planking, new keel and decks, canvas."
