| 16' Minnie-Mo Freighter Canoe |
Some time ago I had the opportunity to paddle the Restigouche River. A beautiful river that flows
across the northwestern part of the province of New Brunswick and the southeastern part of Quebec.
The trip included a number of rivers in the region.
As I and my party toiled with the paddles on these magnificent waterways, I noticed a number of the
natives going in the opposite direction (up river) in a square sterned canoe then unknown to me. I
spent some time studying them and talking to the locals.
These freighter canoes made perfect sense to me. The canoes were made using strip and batten
technology with canvas coverings. I have taken the time to develop the lines of the freighter canoe for
use with the more durable and far more backyard builder friendly technology of wood strip.

16' long and 47" at the widest point She will weigh in the are of 70 lbs
depending on materials and add ons.
She rides nicely with a 5 HP engine and will go a good long while. A
comfortable payload should not exceed 800 lbs.
If you think you need a larger Freighter Canoe, you can take a look at

Below you will find 5 options. Most people will want the full package which includes Plans, full size patterns, and a wood
strip building video for the Little Rob along with the full kit.
Plans only are there for the accomplished builders who know how to read plans and can work from them.
If you want to take a shot at making your own full size patterns you should consider getting at least the video and plans
package. The patterns only package is there for people who have purchased the video and plans already and have decided
that working with our full size patterns is the way to go.
Below the plans options you will see packaged Epoxy kits for these boats.
