Comment by Andreas Graef on February 11, 2017 at 2:03am: That's a good idea. But at the moment we need it for some river travels :)

Comment by curt goodnight on February 11, 2017 at 3:59pm: Cool!!! My old redwood stripper canoe was paddled hard for about a dozen years- then I finished a Glen L skiff for my son:

And then , finally- finished building

the TIKI 30 [with my old Mad River canoe as tender/skinny water fishing boat}

Comment by Andreas Graef on February 11, 2017 at 4:12pm: Great stuff. I love the Tiki 30 but the next build will be the Tiki 26 and the small eastport pram. I have all plans in my pocket. Hope to start this fall when all motorcycle projects are done ...

Comment by curt goodnight on February 12, 2017 at 1:33pm: my life seems to have been a litany of "projects" .... even today I am finishing the motor cover for the Tiki and muddling my way through roll up slatted decks for our tent's platform across the cockpit- The nice weather has me planning a March launch for a few weeks sail on one of our large reservoirs around here.

Your URAL build reminds me of all the times I fantasized about a canoe /sidehack for one of my bikes...[of course then I would want an outrigger and a sail and a.... LOL!]
