Who edits the List of designs??

Post by LarryN »

I am pleased to find this site, it looks great.
I note with some pride one of my designs made it to the list (amoeba). It was actually designed in 1997 not 2003 but close enough.

I had three earlier designs with some limited success
1991 Superfly
1992 Superfly II
1993 Spyder

Billy Hearn helped me build the first Superfly in his shop in Falls Village.
The Superfly II (more volume in stern) was designed in a garage at the "Raft Ranch" on the banks of the Chilliwack river and were built for me by Gary Barton at "The Upstream Edge" in Guelph Ont. It was used in the 1992 Olympics
The Spyder was designed and Built at the Western Canoeing factory in Abbotsford BC, under my company name of Kinetic Composites. I used it in the 1993 Worlds Championships.

There's a bit of Boat design history I never thought I'd get to share :wink:

Thank you for clearing up with the Amoeba was built - I used the date it first appeared on Kaz's site as the design date. I'll try and include that in my next update.

If you get a chance, please send me any and all info you have on other boats (and any corrections!), including specs (and images if you have them, and any designer commentary you'd be willing to share) to me at info@cboats.net .

Thank you again-I'm glad you like the site, and look forward to learning about a few more designs!
