Freedom Update Re-skinning my Skin on Frame Canoe

Putting a new skin on the Freedom skin on frame (SOF) canoe. Elaborating on original technique and updating to new materials.

Thank you for the update. More food for thought. Good luck on your next build, I hope you and your wife get some great memories out of the tandem.

Thank you for the follow up. I just found the original

Great video- plan on building Annabelle by Dave Gentry. Polyester fabric that is normally used in SOF boats is not available from the usual sources so I was thinking I would have to ballistic nylon. Great to know I can use sailcloth.

Shrinking is a bit tougher than with the polyester, but if you're patient with it it gives good results.

Amazing work, and a beautiful video, I was thinking about using hot glue just yesterday! Thanks for showing that it works! These are really beautiful boats.

Any joint where the fabric is pulling on the lateral i've found to be quite strong. Come back and share of photo of the new boat. Would love to see it.

Thanks for your first video and your latest one. I tried to locate “ sail cloth” company but no such company is online, could give us the correct company link so we could order the same material. Thanks

My apologies. I used 6oz polyester from www.sailrite.com/Fabrics/Marine-Fabric/Sailcloth-Fabric
