Greetings,
I have just purchased an Old Town 13', serial # 169860. Can someone send me the build sheet for this canoe? Thank you

The Old Town canoe with serial number 169860 is shown as 13 feet long, a 50 pound model fitted with a keel. The canoe was built in 1960. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It was shipped to Amherst, Massachusetts on June 14, 1961. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link behind the thumbnail image attached below.

This scan and several hundred thousand others were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. A description of the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/ot_records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/about-the-wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://store.wcha.org/WCHA-New-Membership.html to join.

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your canoe.

Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
 
Thank you for the reply. It's interesting to note that the canoe wood work was finished on February 29, it's a leap year canoe!
