Re: Sailing canoe
probably, but I would suggest that this home build is 'kinda rough' for the start price, let alone the buy it now. Silk purses and sows ears come to mind. I suspect there are better start points to be had.Nessa wrote:I saw one today at Grafham. Could this ebay project be converted?

Re: Sailing canoe
Tend to agree. Reckon that one's worth about the cost of two new hatches. You'd have more fun and probably not that much more work building a whole new boat yourself, and then you could build the sailing gear into the boat and have a far better job.
