PHEATHER2 canoe
PHEATHER2 is a skin-on-frame canoe that weighs just a little over 11 pounds. The skin is 20 gauge clear vinyl and the boat is designed for calm water use only. The length is 12' 5" and I tow the canoe behind my bicycle using longboard wheels for the back end. To design this canoe as light as possible, I installed only 9 ribs, lowered the boat to just 9" and minimized the gunwales and keel. I also reduced the stringers and made one on each side only 1/2 length. The complete story can be found on my website:https://urbanboatproject.weebly.com/pheather2.html
