16' Tourenkanu
Designed by Boatkits
A 5.00 m touring canoe sold as a CNC-cut stitch-and-glue kit by Boatkits, the kit arm of Denmark's Boatplans ApS. A moderate rounded cross-section makes it fast and adaptable to many loads. Boatkits notes that it trades some stability for speed: it is at its most comfortable on long trips with 130 kg or more aboard and can feel lively to beginners when lightly loaded. Beam is 0.83 m and weight about 25 kg.
The rounder multi-panel hull takes more time than the other canoes in the range. The kit house's figure is 70 to 80 hours to the bare hull, with finishing put at 1 to 1.5 times as much on top. Budget roughly 140 to 200 hours. Measured medians from build logs appear below.
