C-4
C-4 canoes are not cruisers; they are used for
flat-water racing, in a straight line, on a measured courses. The original C-4 was
built by Walter Dean in the early 1900's and is owned by the Mississauga Canoe Club.
This revised model was designed for the Mississauga Club, based on the lines of the
Walter Dean original. Ted has since modified the shape, taking out all rocker and
filling out the stern a little above the waterline to increase reserve buoyancy when the
boat is paddled fast. |
Long and narrow, this canoe is
built for speed with a deep vee hull, flaired sides and plumb bow to produce the maximum
waterline length. An ezcellent club project for experienced builders! |
