MyCanoe700S

A design that is half way between a canoe and a kayak. The idea is to:

• add some sheer the the design
• add buoyancy tanks
• reduce the sole width to limit slipping of the paddler sideways (and potential capsize)
• increase secondary righting moment (stiffness)
• reduce paddle interference
• add a double thickness plywood for the sole (for concentrated loads)
• Reduce the overall thickness of the plywood and therefore the canoe weight

Here is the design:

(Yes it is a balsa model)

And another view:

Here is the 3D design:

And the 2D design (two sets need to be cutout):

(Note: the plywood is 2500 mm x 1220 mm x 4 mm)

Here are the key files:

• MyCanoe700S_BoatOffsetTable.xlsm
• MyCanoe700S.csv
• MyCanoe700S_3D.dc
• MyCanoe700S_3D.dxf
• MyCanoe700S_2D.dc
• MyCanoe700S_2D.dxf

I have not export the 2D (cutout) data to excel for formatting.
