Description
This canoe is an adaptation of our Waterman 16 Mk2 open canoe requested by a client who wanted a lightweight craft which he could easily car top and which would safely take a small outboard motor to use for fishing and camping. Her beam has been widened to 44" giving more internal space and additional stability when moving around in the boat. She uses the stitch and tape method of construction. Depending upon the type of ply used, weight will be around 55 lbs.
