We were in fast-moving water on the Credit River, a mistake on my part for not knowing how rocky that river is. We followed a family in an inflatable raft and assumed it would be the best route to take down the river, as they were doing just fine. There was a fallen tree hanging over the water, which the family in the raft was able to duck under. We were not so lucky. The tree was not submerged, so the tree stopped us and the boat continued down the river. So on to the repair!
Wood and canvas canoes were popular before plastic and composite boats became mainstream. There's something about being in a wood boat that I completely enjoy, they are quiet, smooth and at home in their natural surroundings. Popular to common belief wood canoes are incredibly strong and easy to repair. They generally weigh about the same as fiberglass canoes and if stored properly can be kept in mint condition longer than other construction methods as the are more easily refurbished.
Does it matter where the ends of the replaced strips are relative to the underlying ribs when I repair my cedar strip rowboat? Eric: It rather depends on the underlying framework of your rowboat. How far apart the ribs are primarily.
