The mast is actually just one half of the canoe pole, used for poling shallow water. The pole is 12 feet long when used for poling and 6ft6"(taking in the spigot joint) and 6ft respectively when...

Hello Al, the Mad River Reflection is indeed the same hull design as the Dagger. I've no idea how the weights compare but the modern one is Royalex and weighs in around the 61lb mark before adding...

I don't actually have any photo's of this particular boat with the sail rigged yet but this video shows it in the Explorer, my previous boat and the set up is exactly the same:

I would strongly advise avoiding buying a new Canadian canoe. I've owned 6 different Canadians, in 5 years, in the search for "the" boat. Only one was new when I bought it-the SP3 from nova craft....

The Mad River Reflection?

Definitely yes.

For the paddling I intend to do, it's perfect.

That's the important point that seems to get missed by a lot of people; it depends on what sort of...

Well, one Mad River Reflection 15 and a Nova Craft SP3 Prospector actually.

After the gales we've been putting up with, on and off, for the last couple of weeks or so, myself and and my mate...

I know three people personally, (as in I meet them face to face regularly, rather than just talk to them on forums) who own "woodlore" knives and none of them use them. They have all put them away in...

I foresee a multi day/night, 60+ miles on the water trip, if my cunning plan comes to fruition!;)

if only these gales would back off a bit!

Just bought a new Canoe and (not sure why, now I come to think about it) the same day,a snugpac hammock:ashamed:

I love the boat, just need to see what happens with the hammock;)

Thank you Glen, I have indeed paddled the Pal before and loved it but at the time, my boat fund was halved in an instant, by a cooker that died at a most inconvenient time!;)

Almost all my...

Still looking

Anyone interested in volunteering for future events ( should there be any of course) would be best advised just to contact Gary direct. He's got a shed full of idea's and potential to run a whole...

Having just sold my Explorer 14 TT, I'm now looking for it's replacement.

Ideally, a Nova Craft Pal, Bob Special or maybe a P16 in royalex lite but will also consider a Mad River Explorer 15 rx.

I was digging around my photo's and found these:

They're bull roarers, actually quite easy to make once you know how...

I'm sorry I missed your reply!

I've not run a container course for a few years now, but there may be a possibility of running a couple at Cowclose wood( see this...

You're right Jonny, they do take hours to make and a curious amount of your soul goes into them but.....

Well, to be honest,it's actually really easy,as after a while, you just run out of space. ...

Thank you very much for the kind comments.

I've run courses for the local Forestry Commission and conservation group, on bark container making,from standing tree to finished container but the...

Apologies to those who are already familiar with my craft work, having seen it on other websites. There just seem to be quite a lot of new names on here so I thought I'd post some of it up to give...

We were just talking about this, this morning and he's already talking about some sort of regular volunteer type events.

It'll obviously depend on the response he gets from this first go but all...
