14 foot solo canoe "Bufflehead"
This is one of those boats that I think everyone should have. Lets face
it, every now and then you just want to grab a boat and hit the water for
a couple hours after work. So what stops you? Usually it is the
perceived hassle of loading up the boat and actually getting on the
water. No one ever regrets it once they are there. Bufflehead is the no
hassle way to get to the water. At just 14' and a scant 30 lbs or so, there
just isn't any reason not to get on the water for that last couple of hours
before sunset.
This boat is a close relative to the
"little Rob" in functionality. The
"Little Rob" is designed for a
comfortable sit on the bottom style
of paddling with a kayak paddle
where "Bufflehead" is more of a
traditional canoe with a seat and
yoke for those more comfortable up
off the bottom or in a kneeling
position. You can also add a seat
back for comfort if you choose.
With a full 33" beam you will find
Bufflehead stable and a joy to
paddle.

I have put together the Epoxy kit that I use during the building of these boats on the videos and have
made them available here for your convenience. These kits have the hardener, the right resin for
laying up glass cloth, the thickening agent for your gluing needs as well as calibrated pumps for
measuring the hardeners and LV resin. Choose the right kit for your working environment.
