This canoe has been built following a project found on (link at the end of the description); it is a one sheet boat, which means that it can be constructed using a single sheet of okoume wood measuring 125 x 250 cm. The construction technique used is named “stich and glue“: after cutting the wood, a copper wire is used to create the hull shape, and then coated with epoxy and fiberglas
