“Breeze” is a simple 10’(3m) double paddle canoe which is always available for a quick trip after work on protected waters. 2 sheets of 1/4” (6mm) plywood, stitch and glue construction with 3” (75mm) fibreglass tape in epoxy along all seams inside and out. As with all our designs the boat is sturdy, lightweight and easy to transport and store. She moves effortlessly through the water, handling small chop very well with excellent course tracking. Suitable for fishing, birds watching or just leisure paddle on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Last but not least she doesn’t cost much to build – about $400 CAD (2023). “Breeze” is a perfect project for the first time boat builder. Here is the bill of materials:
- Exterior grade plywood 4x8' (1220x2440mm), 1/4"(6mm) thick - 2 sheets;
- Fiberglass tape 3” (75 mm) wide by 6 oz. (200 gr/sq.m) – 32 yards (30 m);
