Quick Canoe 155
Designed by Michael Storer
The Quick Canoe 155 is Michael Storer's answer to the question of how little work a decent canoe can take. He bills it as two weekends of work: a 4.7 m (15 ft 6 in) canoe with a 33 in beam, built from three sheets of 6 mm (1/4 in) plywood.
The speed comes from the method. The panels are pulled together with duct tape or cable ties, which the designer describes as the way to put the hull together fast. He gives a hull weight of 23 kg. It is the cheap, quick route to a usable canoe; the Eureka, from the same designer, is the stitch and glue alternative for a builder with more time.
What building a Quick Canoe 155 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.
