I have often admired the Adirondack style of Guide Boat with their swept back ends, gorgeous sheer line - often higher forward than aft and pinched entry and exit to their waterline - they came in several different sizes and styles - some with small transoms - and l am not sure that any were ever small enough to be called canoes, but in this case, our client asked us to use the Adirondack style with a single canoe size and the result is a very pretty and efficient little boat for paddling small creeks and waterways otherwise difficult to get at.
Note - the plans now come with plank shapes for a wider 39" beam plus details on possible outriggers etc. so that she can be used for rowing.
