I’m from Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand. I’m a hobbyist woodworker who got into woodwork building guitars just over 10 years ago. Since then I have built two cedar strip canoes; a 16ft Prospector and a 15ft Freedom design from Bear Mountain Boats. And I have also built a 12ft skin on frame dinghy using the GABoats Classic 12 design. I mostly paddle around the sheltered tidal inlets near me and I recently moved closer to the water. Since my other canoes are setup for tandem paddlers I am hoping to build a solo canoe that is slightly smaller and lighter than my other two.
