The Bride may kill me, but I purchased the Thompson Bros, Hiawatha 18 today. That will teach her to leave me alone for a weekend! The builder can't deliver it to me until he receives the HIN from the state, but I can live with that.

If she does kill you, I may be interested in buying it.

Nice boat! Looks like it is set up for a sail rig. Are you planning on adding a sail? Should travel nicely on that new trailer too.

I'm not sure about the sail. A canoe over 12' in Oregon doesn't need registration until you put a motor or sail on it. Thompson Bros used a lateen sail, which I don't like. If I do, it will be a standing lug, and I will steer with a paddle like an otter tail.Nice boat! Looks like it is set up for a sail rig. Are you planning on adding a sail?

Very nice. I love wood and canvas canoes. But in our rocky eastern rivers plastic boats are a lot easier to live with.

A fine conveyance across the water with style. It's a beautiful boat.
I think Poky may be onto something.

Canoes never had much appeal to me until I saw a Maine Gide paddle one by himself down the Allagash River.
In the right hands those things can do anything!
Congrats!!
