Tanner’s solo canoe | Cape Falcon Kayak

Here’s another great Cape Falcon solo canoe example build by @tpebs . Being a powerline technician Tanner had access to old power poles which he milled with a chainsaw for the longitudinal pieces!
.
Living on the Canadian Prairie local wood for the ribs wasn’t really an option so he imported the White Oak, which is always a bit steep on cost but totally worth the money to avoid the stress of trying to steam bend bad wood.
.
The boat itself is 14’8” long, 12” deep, and 30 inches wide (before tumblehome) with 2 inches of tumblehome at the Gunwales, and 1 1/2 inches of rocker from end to end. Based on my experience building the same boat it should weigh about 31 pounds.
