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!!!

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

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.

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.
