Deck Beams

Setting out the positions for the masts and deck beams.




A breasthook forward and aft. Not strictly necessary I guess in the decked version, but for the small extra weight will add much strength and will also nicely pick up the deck above.



'Canoe Builder Senior', starts to fit deck beams

A small rebate plane helps with cleaning up the inside of the hull



The inside of the hull looking somewhat more finished


Caulking the planks (with epoxy), should add some further strength (and will require even more sanding).


You don’t need to own a green boiler suit to build a canoe! but it might keep you warm.
