Woo Hoo! Invited on a 21day Grand Canyon float... Need to build my canyon boat!

Howdy y'all!

 

Okay... first I need to convince the trip leader that a dory would be a beautiful addition to the trip... THEN I need to BUILD it... FAST :)

 

I'm thinking Briggs... Possibly a decked Rouge...

 

Concerns of my trip leader: Carrying capacity of a dory!

 

We've got 8 people, 21 days and 5 boats including whatever I row... They're a little worried I won't be able to carry my fare share of the load in a dory. I need some…

Committed

Well, I'm committed. Or should be. Just received the first half of the lumber for a replica of Emery Kolb's EDITH, which was built 100 years ago this coming summer. The EDITH and its twin, DEFIANCE, rowed by brother Ellsworth, were built out of white cedar planking with white oak framework in Racine, Wisconsin. Brass screws, copper riveted lapstrake.
