Hi Tim, I estimate that in about a week I will have plans ready for cutting the plywood in the same way as for the double ended 20 foot gorewood canoe for a 20 foot gorewood freighter canoe. Kind regards, Stefan

​@@flomoflowingmotion.. I cannot wait build your freighter.. and get my motor on the transom.. do some cruising!

How deep will the freighte.r be ? Approximately?? 18 inch ?.... and also , 15 inch transom ? (My motor is a short shaft 6 hp tohatsu)

Some are on his Homepage or in the Woodenboat Forum for free. Great Ideas he has!!!!!

Yes, the surface was roughened with a wire brush. A lot of material can be removed quickly with the 40 grit sandpaper. However, the goal is only to roughen the surface uniformly. Relatively little pressure is sufficient for this. If the pressure is too high, small pieces are torn out of the surface, which may lead to a better bond, but also to a higher consumption of epoxy during lamination.

Yes, you are right. It is exactly as you suspect. lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AL9nZEWThHmJAjuHYoX4qHTooebQIp_ftALKtZR5ttnsOwH-eeJnp4lpZiFssRFBYq9CiVTyhp9wua_Q1gsVxOmeIgrwkNfOUgQO5hZWF2gZuLcnrGLOpUwxPZr1ifsn8VTc_qahuMM63tYliZ2WDOiFtM9f=w1470-h827-no?authuser=0 At a later point in time, I closed these holes. lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AL9nZEVLLVOvd90e3OIE_ZylH8kCar9P9IT4IAPw81Uq4irEgfqF9kQs618jgrPJ8ibtMxqR8K19o3pydwEORJ8NNJrnjHe3PXtgKEg0n7xpmU40zxF2MgleYQXS_PHvrDYUdN-cnmBtOc1_ySqx3eIZW6dT=w1470-h827-no?authuser=0 Photo journal of the successful construction of the canoe: goo.gl/photos/MWCVLV3hWnpxKiPd9

I am not sure if I have understood the question correctly, but will try to answer it according to my understanding. To the best of my knowledge, there is no mathematical method to create an equivalent Gorewood construction version from an existing canoe design. The 2D patterns for the Gorewood canoes are created through a process of trial and error based on a series of scale models. Although I try to build these models as accurately as possible, there is no guarantee that the final full scale canoe will exactly match the model. There are simply too many factors that affect the way the hull turns out, so no two canoes based on the same design will turn out identical. The differences won't be huge and probably won't be noticed by most users, but I at least don't want to hide this aspect. Since I have built numerous different Gorewood canoes, I can also make some statements regarding new designs, but these can only really be verified when there is a finished version of them. Of the Gorewood canoes I have built, the Gorewood Cottage Cruiser is probably the closest match to the Novacraft prospector 17, but this design is only 16 feet long and more complicated to build than the others. If you would like we can continue the conversation via email. Here is my somewhat cryptic email address (I hope you can decipher it): stefanordelt[at]gmx[dot]at Best regards, Stefan

Yes, this is a tandem canoe lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AL9nZEXUvRATchnZ0ErbomeMKJqof7qLvguruyb7x3vWjfTJliGbduW4BIZn2XJ6jD3YhyhVikQYYXYpKPhi-l44m-Wkl5kulbMpPzl3WHo0KPufJzH-DgLRgDXV2NcLxG-DKVf3r0yKIdoM9TLZ77b2Xkvy5w=w1724-h969-no?authuser=0, but it can also be paddled solo from the kneeling thwart.

@@flomoflowingmotionthanks a lot 👍

Hello gorewood is the name of the technique he used to bend his plywood sheet by cutting gores in it

@@boatfabricationchannel2991 Thanks a lot! I couldn't find word "gore" as a "piece of material, shaped like a triangle" in my dictionary, so I couldn't realase what does it mean. Thank you. 🙏

@@Moisandranat there is also the tortured ply technique that you will find on youtube that is almost the same thing
