Pipe framework all bound together with twine and lifted off molds. Larch timber floor fitted.
Covered in 10oz cotton canvas after backrest and forward brace are fitted.
5 coats of epoxy and then rubrails and keel bands are fitted.
Then the rudder, mast, rigging, and sail. Rudder controlled by pedals in the front.

Skin on frame canoes are no new thing. But the use of plasic waterpipe for the frame was something I had never come across and had to try. The addition of rudder, mast and sail was an afterthought but works great.
