The 14ft Flo Mo designed canoe fits nicely inside my car!!

Flo Mo 15'6" ... 6' and 5' and 4'6"

Flo Mo 14, with more freeboard and raised bow/stern. Weight 18.5 Kgs

The split marine plywood was repaired and the build now almost complete. Ready to launch this week...

The Gabon marine plywood is proving not as robust as the Birch ply. The one positive is the canoe is very light. Repairable is yet to be seen.

Its that time of year to start another canoe build. A
FLO MO 14 ft canoe. The last canoe I used Birch ply which was very robust and took the curves from bending with out a problem.. This canoe I am trying marine ply wood for its lightness and durability..

Have you ever wanted to build a paddle or a canoe? Courses to help you through the process using modern techniques and materials. Starting in January 2019

A short journey on the Sharpness canal and then on to the river Cam. Quite Quiet!

More exploring on the river Clyst, Exe and the Frome. Quite a few miles in the new canoe!!

Three different rivers in 3 days. River Frome, River Brue and the River Avon. 😀

Latest canoe from my workshop. A canoe based on the native American Indians idea of using Birch bark to form into a canoe. The design has been developed and refined recently by Flo-mo. Using 3 D modelling software to use thin plywood.

Exploring the beautiful tidal stretch of the river Nyfer at Newport, Dyfed. A short journey but so much diversity!!
