Bryan,

Finally finished the modern Malecite and donation is in the mail. Had it out twice and it didn’t dump us! Fotos to follow.

Hey, Bill,

You’re not missing anything. When I revised the plan in April, I left off the center station. Probably a lesson in leaving good enough alone. I revised my revision and now the center station is back in the drawing. Check the revision date for 3/2011 for the current download. Sorry about that.

Bryan,

I liked this design and am about to build one, but I’m confused about the number of stations. There’s 8 stations, with a center station, which covers +/-7 feet from center or 14′ of boat, with 0.5 feet of stem past the last station that’s only 15′ of boat and it’s supposed to be 17′ long. Am I misreading something?

The text notes that this is the last known canoe of this style built. Tomah Joseph of Princeton, Maine built the canoe based on a cedar and canvas porpoise-hunting canoe. It has similar pinched ends and rounded tumblehome as the Modern Malecite St. John River Canoe. [...]

I love the pictures! Especially the last one with the smiles on your faces. That’s what boat building and paddling is about. Thanks for building this canoe.
