Brians's Companion Canoe in Spain
Buying from USA and living in Spain could bring real problems. I need not have
worried. Jack at Sandy Point could not be more helpful. Everything arrived in less
than 2 weeks, now i cannot wait to get started! Great service, thanks Jack

Hi Jack, it,s Bryan from Spain. I don't expect you remember me but I bought
Prospector plans from you back in January and yesterday we launched her!
Thought you might like to see her so attached file.
I used ceder of course, maple for gunwales, cherry for seats ,yoke and some scraps
of very old mahogany for the stem and stern trim. The paddles are made of off cuts of
all four woods. The bulkheads are filled with expanded foam for extra buoyancy Hope
you like her, kind regards Bryan.

Hi Jack, a big thank you for your help in building my first canoe. Your
DVD is worn out! The most played in my collection!! Two things you
said stuck in my mind when building, "enjoy the journey" and "be
creative".
Well, I did both! Building my first canoe has been one of the most
enjoyable projects I have ever done.
I bought the woods from several sources in planks of odd sizes and
cut to suit. All imported from America!! I have learned new skills on
the way, ripping large planks and using a router being two of many!
I diverted off plan in the later stages as you can see, adding the
sealed bulkheads for extra buoyancy. We launched last week and I
was amazed at the reception from the local boating community,
never had so many nice comments on my work before. Needles to
say I am now looking at my next project, Bay Hawk looks real nice!! I
will never sell my Prospector though. If your ever in Spain come and
see her, your very welcome. Thanks again Jack,
Regards Bryan
