Sorry to have disappeared for a bit.
Sounds like very close to what I'm looking for.
Last night one of my boys who started DR racing last year expressed interest in trying wildwater C1 - so will be evaluating the budget.
Thanks for all the info!!

OK - I'm curious - what are the specs? The Jensons I know are all 17 or longer and fairly shallow. Is this a deeper version for WW? My current racing boat is a Penob 17 which is hard enough to keep dry.

Very tempting

but I'm really looking for something a little more dry for WWOCD. There was a Jensen at last year's WWOCD Nationals but they demand more finesse than I think I have to keep dry.

WTB - Any OC1 or OC2 Composite downriver racers?

Anyone know of an F-14 racing class open canoe collecting dust? Would love to patch it up and get it racing again.
I'm in the Southeast (NC).

Hind sight is definitely 20/20 and I wish I'd skipped the varnish idea as well. But it was clear that it would never again be a competition boat and I was just trying to figure out the easiest and least costly route to getting it on the water for the precise purpose you suggested; as a platform to g...

I'm curious, was this project ever completed? If so, how did it turn out. As with any whitewater boat it's always "in repair" - but I have had it on water 3 times. I tried the spar varnish first since it seemed like a reasonable idea and actually worked out a little but didn't protect the cloth fro...

and THANKS for the guidance, ezwater!

I think I'll stick with simple glass tape on the cockpit and it's mostly in reasonable condition. I will check in on West Marin epoxy ... I've got a friend who recently did some major work on his sailboat - crossing my fingers that he used an epoxy I can use (unlikely). And if anyone can recommend a...

Great info and detail - thanks!

I just shot some photos tonight and was surprised again at just how clean this 30 year old boat is. Looking forward to putting a couple coats of epoxy on the hull and reinforcing the cockpit rim. http://picasaweb.google.com/swanson.dale/SedaSuperMaxC11978 The first couple photos show how much cloth ...

Seda Supermax - reconditioning?

I just assumed stewardship of an old Seda Supermax that doesn't appear to have ever been paddled much. Having read through some past posts about Seda construction in the late 70s I'm nervous about getting to ambitious with repairs. Any guidance y'all can provide is much appreciated. Cockpit rim is s...
