13' 3" Wee Lassie II
Designed by Mac McCarthy
A 13 ft 3 in solo double-paddle canoe by Mac McCarthy of Feather Canoes, sold by Newfound Woodworks as plans and cedar-strip kits under agreement with the designer. About 32 lb, 27.6 in beam, 280 lb capacity. It is not a stretched Wee Lassie: it has its own V-bottom shape, tracks strongly, and is stable enough to fish from, which suits a heavier paddler or one who brings a dog.
A simple open hull with a bottom-mounted seat, well within reach of a first-time strip builder. Newfound re-lofted the lines with forms every 12 in, and kit forms are CNC-cut for stapleless building. As a rule of thumb, budget 130 to 220 hours. Measured medians from build logs appear below.
What building a 13' 3" Wee Lassie II actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
