Roger MacGregor, author of "*When the Chestnut Was in Flower*" took the lines for the Chestnut Kruger and the Chestnut Ogilvy. The Kruger was a slim cruising canoe created by the Chestnut Canoe Co. This is the Newfound Woodworks' version of the Chestnut Kruger. It was launched on Sunday morning, May 11th, 2003. Our impressions are that this canoe works well either tandem or solo. It can be paddled solo by sitting in the bow seat facing sternward. The weight is 55 lbs; it is very stable feeling if you kneel and lean your butt against the seat.
All of our kits are created as we get orders. Please email us (info@newfound.com) with your name, address, telephone number, and shipping address (if different) and we will email a quote that includes packaging and shipping costs.A "kit" can include everything or just certain items. If you just want strips, email us with the pertinent name and address, the design you are building and we will email a quote. We mill all of our strips here at our facility in New Hampshire to the highest standards after air drying the cedar. If you pick up at our shop, of course there is no shipping charge. We will shrink wrap your materials so that they are impervious to the weather. A kit can be picked up with a vehicle that you would normally use to transport your canoe or kayak. What is in a kit?
Canoe Pre-Kit If you haven't built a stripper before and aren't sure about the process, you may want to get a Pre-Kit first. This includes plans, "Cedar Strip Building" DVD, "Applying Fiberglassing" DVD, a CD of construction pictures and Susan Van Leuven's book, "The Illustrated Guide to Wood Strip Canoe Building".
