While in Mystic, Ct. at the Wooden Boat Family Boat Building School this year Michael Storer and I got to discussing new kits for me to develope and we decided that his Eureka Canoe design would make a nice kit so here it is. 

This nice little canoe is 16′ long and easily handles 2 adults with gear.  The seats can also be set up for a single paddler if you prefer.  It is very stable by canoe standards and easy for a first time builder to build from out kit.  All plywood side and bottom panels are cut to exact size so you just glue the joints together to form the length, stitch it all together, and start your epoxy work.  All timbers in the kit are shipped slightly long so that you can trim to exact size on your boat.  The deck and bulkhead plywood are also a small bit oversize to be trimmed to exact size and, in the case of the deck to the style you prefer.  This is a nice boat to build that you can be proud of.  Our kit comes with cypress timbers and marine okuome plywood.  Mahogany spacer blocks like the ones shown here can be included in lieu of cypress if you prefer at no additional cost.

Shipping time typically will be two to three weeks.  We can also provide epoxy and fiberglass kits to your requirements if so desired.

EUREKA CANOE KIT WITH PLANS      $599 PLUS SHIPPING   PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE TO LOWER 48 PLEASE CONTACT US DIRECT TO DISCUSS SHIPPING OPTIONS.

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PURCHASED PLANS FOR THIS ONE NEVER FEAR.  WE CAN ADJUST THE PRICE TO REFLECT THIS.

The Quick Canoe is now ready for you.  This is one of the easiest boats there is to build.  Our kit consists of all the wooden parts you will need to put this together.  All you need is glue, some epoxy, a little fiberglass tape, a few screws, and paint.  We even include the wire ties to keep the bow and stern together while assembling.   The other ingredient is YOU, having a great time on the water in the canoe.  You will need very few tools for this.  A simple handsaw can be used for all cuts necessary although a jig saw is helpful.  A cordless drill would be good but you could do it with a hand screwdriver if necessary.  Duct tape and a few spring clamps will help with assembly.  All parts are labeled so you will know exactly what they are and the labels have dimensions on them just in case a label should come off.  This is the perfect quick and easy family project.  Everybody can help and the kids can tell their friends what they did!!   

Now for the technical stuff.  The basic hull comes in two pieces for the bottom and four for the sides.

The gunwales, inwales and keel come in three pieces each.  The center piece of each is scarfed on both ends and the other pieces on one end.  We will include a piece of aluminum angle that will work as a clamping jig for the scarfs.  Be sure and cover this with plastic tape to prevent the wood sticking to the aluminum.  I recommend starting the gluing process early on so that all pieces will be glued by the time you need them for construction into the boat.

The skeg pieces will fit your boat perfectly prior to applying the keel.  After it is all glued up you can cut it to any final shape you would like.  A gentle curve works well.

There are five pieces for each seat.  All except the framing pieces are cut to fit.  The seat supports are ready for the installation of the framing.  No intricate cuts are required.

Believe me.  It doesn’t get any easier than this!!!

BASIC KIT WITH EITHER ULTRAPLY XL OR EXTERIOR PINE Including complete bound set of plans $445 plus shipping 

Marine fir, okoume, and miranti also available at additional cost.  I do not believe this should be necessary for this particular boat.

Many have already bought the plans so we keep them separate.  The next post on the site does not include plans.  Please go here for purchase of  canoe kit without plans.  http://www.jowoodworks.com/archives/available-online/666

Now for the technical stuff.  The basic hull comes in either two or four pieces for the bottom and four for the sides.   A four piece bottom is a little more difficult to build but the shipping cost is considerably less. 

The gunwales, inwales and keel come in three pieces each.  The center piece of each is scarfed on both ends and the other pieces on one end.  We will include a piece of aluminum angle that will work as a clamping jig for the scarfs.  Be sure and cover this with plastic tape to prevent the wood sticking to the aluminum.  I recommend starting the gluing process early on so that all pieces will be glued by the time you need them for construction into the boat.

The transom and it’s associated framing is all cut with the necessary bevels.  Just the side pieces need to be cut to length.  The bow and transom knees will have to be cut to fit.  This too is a very simple straight cut.

Believe me.  It doesn’t get any easier than this!!!

BASIC KIT WITH FOUR PIECE BOTTOM WITH EITHER ULTRAPLY XL OR EXTERIOR PINE Including complete bound set of plans $445 plus shipping   PLEASE CONTACT US IF YOU WOULD PREFER THE TWO PIECE BOTTOM.

Marine fir, okoume, and miranti also available at additional cost.  I do not believe this should be necessary for this particular boat unless weight is a critical factor.

Here is a replacement kick up rudder assembly with mahogany rudder and tiller and aluminum cheek blocks.  Board is weighted to help with holding it down.  Lines are used to raise and lower the rudder.   This is also available with the mechanical kick up mechanism similar to the original.  This can be seen on the Holder 14 rudder I have on this site.  Both options are the same price.  Please note that pintles will be installed at locations to match your boat.  Please contact me to verify locations as all boats do not have gudgeons in the same locations.

$295.00

Here is a nice replacement kick up rudder assembly for your Holder 14.  This one has a mahogany rudder and tiller, aluminum cheek plates, and a stainless steel kick up rod.  It is designed very similar to the original equipment.  I have shown two pictures of a cut away of the assembly to show the mechanism.  Some people prefer to use lines to lift and hold down the rudder.  I can do this too.  A good example of this is shown on the Holder 12 item on this site.  I finish the wood with a minimum of 3 coats of spar varnish.  Pintles will be installed at locations to match your boat.  Please contact me to verify locations as all boats do not have gudgeons in the same locations.
