SHE HAS A NAME
As I mentioned at the beginning of this thread, my desire to own a canoe stems from a canoe trip along a river in South Africa. That river is the Knysna river in the Eastern Cape. The area is known as "The Garden Route", and not without just cause.
Endemic to this area is a bird, the Knysna Turaco (Tauraco corythaix). The more common name is the Knysna Loerie (Nigh-s-na Lure-ee).
The "Committee" has agreed to call the NC16... Knysna Loerie.

Latest Pictures.
Finished sanding the fairing the outside. I want to get this baby on the water...
I feel with all the beginner mistakes so far, to go for the Bristol finish would be a little much, but I'm relatively happy with what she looks like to date. I have certainly learned so much, I know I have a loooooong way to go on the learning curve, but I know where I made some mistakes which need to be avoided next time.
I'll put another coat of epoxy on tonight, then see if she looks ready enough for the paint. If so, it'll be sand and more epoxy inside... varnish and, voila!
Mental note to self... You've still got to add the breasthooks and make some paddles

I've missed a few steps in my posting, so need to get my gallery and thread updated. Meantime, here's a quick pick of "Knysna Loerie" as she is today.
First coat of color is on, with 3 or 4 to go. Inside needs another coat of epoxy, then as many coats of varnish as neccessary.
