C-Forum

Hey the big man is looking for a river runner/ creeker that i can convert to a c-1. i am 6-5" 260#, i know i need to loose weight and am working on that in the meantime i still need to rip it up. i want a newer boat that is solid, boat weight does not concern me as much as saddle height.

i am not messing with it. i am gluing the saddle in tonight and one more coat of tung oil and then we are going to go jump some rocks on friday at the nolichucky. ill post a finished pic when she is done. thanks all.

screwed up and drilled right side lash holes about 2" forward of the left side. so i decided to drill some other ones so the lashing would be straight, had i done it in the stern i would not have worried about. how does this look? the second rope is a dummy string filling the holes drill by the dumm...

thanks for the info. i have seen some setups where the lacing ties all the way back down to the floor, which i would think would be better. i am guessing this kit does not account for that. i had thought of drilling through the hull and attaching the grommeted clip for the keeper strap and then glue...

What kind of canoe is it? it is a Blast. One D-ring is probably for the fore strap and one is probably for the aft one. Just a guess. i think you are correct , i think the kit came with options for both. i suppose, i am to tie the lashing cord back down to the keeper strap pad or just dont bring it...

Most float bag lashing kits sold for solo canoes are intended to be used for a pair of bags, one in each end of the canoe. The pair of vinyl D ring patches is almost certainly intended to be to anchor each of the "keeper straps" to the hull bottom at the end of the bag closest to the center of the ...

i've stumped the whole fleet.

i am outfitting my new solo canoe and have purchased a lash kit from boreal designs and all the instructions were in french. i dont read french. the kit came with cord, 2 vinyl d-rings, webbing for the bag keeper, and a clip that is to be screwed to the front gunnel. what i am having trouble with is...

yes they get beat up a bit and weathered, after all we are paddling over rocks, sometimes even right side up. I think they stiffen the boat and its what make a canoe a canoe.

Hey dude , i live in Asheville and currently replacing gunnels on my esquif. i have done it before and have not had problems with breaking or anything. The old ones are still on my old boat and are in good shape. the specs on the gunnels are 7/8 x 3/4, the 3/4 side goes against the boat. straight gr...

what do you use to treat new Ash gunnels?

that is pretty cool thanks, that will look good in the boat and more comfortable.

10-4 thanks, i think i got it. a whole sheet that covers from front to back and from bottom of the gunnel to where the side of the bulk head or stop at the second chine? and then second one that covers the same area or from the 1st chine back up to the gunnel. a pic or drawing is always great

a little confused , do i apply two layers to the side.
