I am going to Northern Lake Powell in Utah and plan to camp in the canyons and such. Kayaking in so need light weight/compact foods.
what kayak are you taking? How long is it? Does it have much space?
What are the best/nutritional foods to take on a 4 day kayak trip?
Do you canoe back upstream to your vehichle?
I am planning on buying my first canoe very soon and I have some odd questions.
Once you paddle downstream, how do you get back to the car?
If I have in registered in Ohio can I still take it to other states?
What are the best buys for the money?
Where are the best places to go for day trips in Ohio? Surrounding states?
Thanks in advance!!!
The river process you speak of is the shuttle. There are many ways to accomplish the shuttle. In some area, an outfitter will do this for a fee or it will be included with a canoe or kayak rental. It’s also common to meet up with other folks and agree to take a car to the end, agreeing tha that car will in turn take someone back to the beginning. I’ve also driven a bike down to the take out so one person can bike back to the car.
If you have a group with more than one car, you can of course do your own shuttle.
Check online for more rivers online. I know there is a book of Ohio rivers as well.
Generally speaking, most states have registration reciprocities with other states, so as long as you have a valid registration sticker you are probalby okay. The big problem occurs when you are in a state with no registration, but take your canoe to a state that requires registration.
As far as materials and kinds: I’d go with Kevlar for canoe expeditions where I need to portage the canoe, for white water or bumpy creeks I’d go with a plastic such as Royalex. I think aluminum canoes can represent some of the best values around. Taken care of they will outlast plastics and can be purchased used at great deals. Grummans and Alumacrafts are a few good aluminum boats. Some dings, etc are fine – some things to check are: any broken or fractured ribs or keel. A sprung keel (big bend) and see if either the stern or bow compartment are holding water.
In our program we use plastic canoes and I recently swtiched from Old Town to wenonah, mostly for reasons of customer service. Both make great canoes. Stay away from coleman canoes. For kevlar, I’d probably select Wenonah or Bell.
What kind of boat is this and where can I buy or get plans to build one?
This boat has floats like a catamaran or party bardge with an outboard motor and just 2 seats or so. It is a very small boat, under 12 feet long. Does anyone know the name of this boat and if you can build or buy it?
There are small pontoon boats like that for fishing.
Jon boats are sometimes made with tubes on the bottom like pontoons for fishing.
Try boatingworld or goboating.
where can i find free down-loadable stitch & glue plywood boat plans with cnc cutting files?
you will have to pay for them
Can someone please help me find the dimensions of my paper boat I have to build?
I am supposed to build a boat out of butcher paper and glue. The ideal weight of the boat should be about 10 pounds. The man weights 215 pounds. Sitting down, his length is 48 inches. Sitting down, he sits 24 inches tall. Sitting down, his width his 26 inches. His arm length is 31 inches. From his elbow to his hands the length is 20 inches. The cubic feet of water is 62.5 pounds From this information, what is the ideal dimensions of the boat so that the boat can float in water and so that the person can reach his hands in the water and paddle with his hands?
U should post a drawn of your project and, most important, U should post your question on the Engineering session.
Another thing is, you could try skin on frame:
www.dreamcatcherboats.com is a good place to look. I’m not sure that carbon fiber would be any lighter, or tougher, but I do know that sof is easily within your reach..
