LOVES Wooden Canoes
Hello All,
I am working on a 16' Canadian Canoe Co., Prospector style Y stern. The stem top, inwale ends and cant rib tops have been spliced and a new deck installed. I also added a thwart just aft of the bow seat and adjusted the lengths of the other thwarts to get a fair shape back. A new bow seat has been constructed and will be supported by cleats instead of hanging from the inwales. The interior has been stripped and I'm in the process of interior varnish. I have only canvassed double enders and was wondering if anyone had any tips on stretching at the stern end. Should the clamp be moved further aft than with a pointed end?
Also, I was told that the hull numbers were meaningless, but if anyone has any thoughts on them, I would appreciate it. The bow stem number is 924 and the stern 1646.
Thanks for you help.

I'm experiencing difficulties reducing the size of my images, so no pics.......sorry
