one canoe is Not like another canoe
The big one above is an 18 (a generous 18!) E.M. White, broad of beam and very stable. However, it needs to be re-canvased…which is clearly not something that can occur in the basement, it is Bigger than we remembered! The other is our 16 foot unknown, c. 1905 maybe Chestnut company, maybe an Indian Girl, re-canvased with Dacron. Seaworthy, very nimble, the trade off for being nimble is that it is tippy.

I like that picture. It really points out the effect the sheer curvature on tumblehome.
That is what caught my eye. Forget the differences in length or beam, those two have completely different curvatures; but because they both work with the rest of the hull I didn’t really notice them until they were sitting there side by side.
cool picture! Thank you, Anne
