Laurence - what a great job you have made of your boat! Congratulations! =D> You will have yourself a ton of fun in 'Knysna Loerie'. She looks beautiful in the water.

So, now you know how to do it, what is your next boat going to be....? :lol: :lol:
FL14 "Lake Dreamer" built.

Laurence, you ended up with a nice looking canoe. May I ask type of primer and paint you used? You ended up with a nice finish and I've been reading as much as I could in order to get ready for painting my FL11.

Laurence,

Looks great, have enjoyed reading about your progress. Is the launch site Cates Park ?

Steve,
The truth is, I didn't use a primer... figured this was my learning curve, and I had had enough of sanding, and the supplier I got the paint from said it did not need priming... I took his word for it.

This is the paint I used.

Yes, Tim, it is Cates Park. Seeing you're from Vancouver as well, you'll know why Knysna Loerie hasn't been wet since... :cry: . Next time though, I think I'm going further around to Deep Cove. Too many "noisy" boats at Cates Park :!:
