C-Forum

Just for the record, Bob P is the designer of the Hornet. I met him once several years ago in the Ingles parking lot in Bryson City. I started talking to him because he had several unusual cboats on his racks. I told him that we had 2 Hornets and thanked him for the design. we had a great discussion...

Russell-so glad you are liking the Hornet. After talking with you, I felt like you would enjoy the speed factor.Tell everyone that we still have another one in the same condition for sale

I am looking for a Dagger Ovation. The hull must be in very good condition. I am not concerned about any outfitting, gunnels, thwarts, etc-I can repair or replace any of these parts. I am in NC, but will travel a reasonable distance.
thanks

would like to find a used Wenonah Spirit II(royalex) or Bell Alaskan or something comparable. Need a boat that will carry a lot of gear and handle class 2. Please email whitewaterevans@earthlink.net or call 919-967-3265. Thanks for any leads.

The measurements that I gave were actual thwart lengths. I will give additional measurements that shows the distance from the bow(actual royalex) to the center of the thwart: bow to thwart thwart length 13 12 3/4 36 20 3/4 78 1/2 24 97 1/2 20 1/2 123 1/2 11 I paddled mine (with the thwarts shortened...

I would use a kevlar skid plate kit for the stern. Follow the directions closely and it will work fine. I use West system Epoxy for most royalex repairs. I think the key to good adhesion is a)cleaning the royalex thoroughly and then using acetone LIGHTLY to remove any chemical , oil or other substan...

I have been using Mitchell paddles for years-refinished them all the time.Sand the shaft lightly-start with 80, then 100 and finally 120. don't take off wood-just the finish and gray spots. After you sand the shaft, use masking tape and newspaper to cover the blade and handle. Use spray polyurethane...

I was on Team Dagger when the Ovation was first introduced by Dagger. My wife and I both got one of the first boats available and still paddle them today. I talked with Steve Scarborough about the boat, it's characteristics and how/why it was designed. he told me the boat had been designed as an all...

my wife(Laura) and I have paddled C-2 together since 1985. we bought a Seda end holer from John Dolbear at NOC after watching the Haller brothers(Lecky and Fritz) race C2 on the Nanny. We went through 4 or 5 Hydra duets , a Grokshark, had a Patriot custom made for us and then had Dagger build a cut-...

Hi Deb, I was just about to respond to your earlier post about Hornets when I saw this post---double answer. My wife and I have 2 hornets-both located in Utah. we live in chapel Hill, NC but have a good friend that lives in Moab, Utah. we have done several Utah and "out west "paddling trips, so left...

I have had very good luck using the kevlar felt that comes with crunch pad kits. There are two sizes available--"whitewater" and "expedition". The expedition size is almost twice as long as the standard size. Both kits come with 2 part epoxy . Follow the directions. One additional thing is to stretc...

I have always had good luck outfiting tandem boats using a combination of the methods noted above. I would agree that maximum manuerivability is achieved by putting the paddlers closer together. In our c-2, the stern paddler(me-175#) is exactly one arm's length behind the bow paddler(her-135#). We h...

2 items- First, Mohawk. A good friend who was about to buy a Viper called Mohawk today and spoke with one of the owners. He said that indeed production had stopped, that there were no more Vipers, that Mohawk was entertaining and reviewing offers to purchase the company and also that he was fairly s...
