Here's a wooden canoe built by a friend of mine from online plans.

Now it's definitely offline now and my woman has fallen in love with it.

Hi Al

 

Nice boat - the one in my post above may look wooden but it is actually a royalex mad river with nice ash gunwales but this is a prospector in 4mm birch ply that the wife built from selway fisher plans, being launched for the first time on a four day trip down the River Barrow. Its a fantastically light and fast (not to mention pretty) boat and surprisingly capable in whitewater and rocky rapids - those first few scraps make you wince though!

oops might have got that wrong - was a few years ago. Her boat is a peterborough design - the other boat partially in the photo is the bigger prosector design.
