Brilliant. Your skills and ethos blow my mind.
Absolutely amazing Brian!
Can’t wait for those other 2 canoes 🛶
Keep’em coming 🍻

Fantastic looking canoes Brian. I’m really looking forwards to seeing the larger canoe with the potential for rowing as well as double use.
Can't wait to see the rowing canoe!
Looking forward to seeing the next hybrid. I am trying to decide what to build and this sounds good! Your videos and teaching are exceptionally good!
Every single time I see Brian in action (I have followed for many years now)You come to appreciate just how masterful he is in all aspects of watercraft and other areas...IMHO He is much much more than just a skillful artist but a true Master. My hat is off to you. If I could knight you and call you sir Brian it would by my honor.
Really going to be interested in that hybrid solo canoe mentioned near the end. Looking forward to seeing it completed.
Beautiful canoe , I love to have one. Thanks 👍👍
Rowing canoe is definitely something I'm excited to see! :-D
Love the not needed features of the traditional version, dark color as well. Your world of boat building seems endless...
Great to see the update, Brian, I'm considering one of your canoe builds, possibly next year, following having enjoyed building and now using the F1 kayak: workshop access is my biggest limiting factor here. I'll check out the instagram feed too. Best wishes.
That is a nice looking canoe.
An interesting concept is a narrow hull with an outrigger on the paddler's weak side. Paddling between the hulls results in a straighter course. Adjusting the angles between the hulls while underway compensates for wind and tide. Carrying the hulls is easier if one stands between them, allowing for a straighter spine.
Thank you!
Love the idea of these! Would like to build one some day.
Thanks for the update Brian. Can you point to me to a resource that says what sort of power tools do you need to build a canoe or kayak? Do you need to have a planer, or is there an approach that lets you get by with just using a table saw?
I’m looking forward to seeing if this work for a 16’....and rowing would be an awesome option.
Check out the video I just posted on rowing these boats
Have you thought about a small 30lb. Thrust trolling motor linked to solar panels with or without a motorcycle battery? Or a slightly larger 12V battery for pontoon setup? With trolling motor on rear or front crossbeam?
These look amazing. I did notice that you weren't tracking well solo paddling (and you mentioned that) but even if learning, that seemed like a lot of movement. I'm used to paddling Chestnut Prospector's or similar canoes and I'm curious your thoughts on your design vs the Prospector. I realize there's a fundamental difference but after having just binged watched hours of you videos, it seems you'd have a pretty solid answer. Also, in your kayak vids you talked about the durability but I didn't hear anything about the durability of this type of canoe vs the more modern ones that use kevlar/aluminum/plast/fiberglass. I could have missed it because you covered so much content but wanted to ask.
This is just what I like for my own personal boats, The first trip out is a little Squirrley but once I get into the flow with the stroke I can keep this going straight but still maintain the advantage of a very maneuverable boat. but the cool thing about this being a building system rather than a specific design is that if you want to track harder all you’ve got to do is drop the keel a bit during the build and problem solved.
I’m not gonna touch the prospector thing because that’s a really complicated subject. There’s the actual original prospectors and then there were boats that were loosely based on it and then there’s just a whole bunch of boats now that are called prospector that aren’t anything like a prospector. Also there’s only so much I can say about design because this isn’t a specific design but rather an entire building system so within certain parameters you actually get to choose the shape depth length and rocker of your boat. Every year I build about five more canoes and my students are adding probably 100 to that number every year and as I gather more information I’m continually expanding the parameters of what the system can and can’t do. If you check out the specific video that I made on skin on framed durability that will answer most of your questions there. In my experience most boats of equivalent weights are roughly as durable as each other. One exception though might be a wood canvas Canoe which is pretty heavy compared to a plastic canoe which is going to be a lot stronger. If I took one of my boats however and framed it heavier and put a super heavy skin on it to where it weighed as much as a plastic Canoe it would be about as tough as a plastic Canoe. And I feel like this relationship carries throughout the entire weight range. If you build this as light as a full carbon Canoe it’s going to be about as durable as a full carbon canoe although MUCH more impact resistant and slightly less abrasion and puncture resistant.
Row! all righty then!
👍👍👍
I love your work and videos but, somehow after several viewings, still can't figure out how long you made this boat. Last one was 14 foot by 30 by 12 and this one is 14-6 to 15?? by 30 by 12? TIA! I'm still trying to decide how long to make mine with your system.
Me too just got the plan set and still trying to decide. Would love to know the Dimensions of this boat
DUDE. Bring on the rowboat. I want it.
Brian how does one stay safe in a canoe? In my kayak, I'm not worried about much less than survival paddling because I know I can roll up and carry on. What happens if you dump a canoe in open water? They look so enticing, easy to hop in, fun to paddle, but how is it bombproof?
alright, I see the airbags at 14 something. Hmmm.
I feel like canoe safety is more about judgment, which is a decent way to look at safety and probably just as safe as gearing up like a gladiator only to realize that all that stuff doesn't always work the way you think it will. Float bags are common on river trips and there are ways to rescue, although just like kayaks, group rescues are more reliable.
Would your system allow for an alteration of the bow and stern to replicate the old style Ojibwa long nose canoe?
You’d have to laminate a custom stem for it but it would work

Try building one out of pallets that's my challenge

This canoe is more sculpture than canoe.
