Canoe "Trout Lily"

Here is the original, the foundation solo canoe design that went from a customer's vision to a floating piece of art. The intent of the design was to create a small light craft which could easily be put on the car for quick fishing excursions after work or paddling whenever the mood struck.

This model goes together rather quickly. The image below shows the scuppered inwales, decked over bulkheads and all wood sliding seat.
