Day 3, Skin-on-frame tandem canoe. Build time: 4hrs.
A pretty easy and uneventful steam bend this morning. I had Liz fire up the camera to make a new bending video for the canoe course. I figure you can never have too many views of the process before you dive in. I will also post this on the Cape Falcon Kayak YouTube channel for people who want to get a sense of what the course is like.
Clamped the stringers on as well, I try to do this on the same day because then I can see if there are any ribs that need replacing and also because it help to fair out the shape before the ribs fully harden.
Now to edit the videos, which ironically takes a lot longer than building the boat! Tomorrow we tie the stringers on. I have a good feeling about this boat. The shape looks right.
