Eureka 155 Canoe
Designed by Michael Storer
The Eureka 155 is a stitch and glue touring canoe, 15 ft 6 in long with a 34 in beam, which the designer describes as pretty, lightweight and simple to build. He gives a weight of 44 lb (20 kg) in gaboon plywood and says weights of 34 lb are achievable.
The low weight makes her easy to carry and cartop, and the length suits touring. Where the Quick Canoe from the same designer is about getting afloat in the least time, the Eureka is the one to build for looks and lightness. A good stitch and glue project for someone who wants a plywood canoe to be proud of.
What building a Eureka 155 Canoe 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.
