Hi Ian,

Of the 3 canoes I have made this is my first solo canoe and I like it. I just sit on a yoga matt folded over for some butt padding. The matt would work for kneeling but I'm paddling laid back style in this one. I have a carbon Onno touring paddle that I can spred way out and that worked with the 28" beam. I will have to make a longer Greenland stick. I used the GP but had to use sliding stroke with my 86" GP.
All in all It's a fun little canoe but I have to admit I did take the Outer Island out today for some distance paddling. I like paddling them all.

Paddle safe,
Clayton Plunkett
