Description
The Explorer 16 is a strip planked canoe with fine lines towards the bow and stern running into an easy 'U' shaped mid body. She has tumblehome in the topsides which make her easy to paddle and which puts the maximum beam at the waterline giving excellent form stability. She has a moderate rocker of 2" (50mm). Construction is from 5 or 6mm Cedar strip glued edge to edge over a building jig - the moulds for this are given full size on the drawings along with full details for setting up the jig. Seating positions are shown for up to 3 people but she could be adapted for single use and she has optional buoyancy/stowage in the ends.
