Still from my paddle yesterday, I created this multiple image that I admit still needs a lot of work, but I'm not sure how to do it. The three images are of the paddle in the water, a "J stroke" and lifting out of the water.
I combined them in Photoshop and converted to sepia for fun.
I accidentally stumbled into a canoe polo training session in Kilcock harbour on one of my many trips along the Royal Canal last summer. It really is a rather unusual sport, but it looks like great fun on a warm sunny summer evening!
I saw this shaped ceramic bowl with succulents in it at the hairdressers and had to have one. I couldn't find one anywhere so I made one instead, out of exterior ply, fibreglassed the joins, gave it a coat of resin, painted and sealed it and now I'm going to polymer and TG it!
I have made several sails for this canoe; they all work well. The lateen is most traditional for canoes. I made this 25 sq ft spritsail just see how it would work. Spritsails were common on lifeboats because they stow into a small space. I then made a 6o sq ft lug sail so I could have a sail that would reef. Note that reefing a sail in a canoe in heavy wind is a bit tricky.
A pair of protective keel strips are screwed on each side of the main keel. These would likely have been installed at the factory by Earl and Floyd Willits of Tacoma, WA.

More canoes found on Emerald Lake, BC. The color of the water is not photoshopped. This is how it really looks.
The Canoe trip was great! I've got about a bajillion pictures to go through, I'll start posting them as I can.

I believe the canoe of the left is Loo Taas (Wave Eater) carved by Bill Reid for Expo'86 in Vancouver and later paddled back to Haida Gwaii.
