Hi all,
I been sent this picture to try and get a bead on what it is aside from being a kayak. It is 16` long and of wooden construction throughout, and has been stored for a while.
Cheers

hi Nige
that looks like an exact replica of a stitch and glue boat i built with my dad about 34 odd years ago
carn't tell you anything about it , i remember he bought a proper set of plans including the cutting templates from somewhere, acquired the resin etc and a month or two later we had 2 canoes ( this is what introduced me to grp and led to Apache canoes )
would be very interested to find out what it is
cheers

Right, well, if we're tracing stuff...
The last boat I saw that looked anything like this was made with fibreglass, but it was VERY close...
It was known as a Taft special, made by the Taft's of Ellesmere Port, a born and bred Canoeing family if I ever met one...
I believe Malcom is still involved in canoeing...
Cheers

maybe an old ottersports tourer
i had a double many years ago and the shape and cockpit rim looks the same
