Mac
McCarthy wrote Featherweight Boatbuilding in 1998 to assist
others in the construction of the two designs most dear
to him. He is currently in an assisted living home in
Florida where he still works with wood, building boat
models. The Wee Lassie may have started out as one of
JH Rushton’s designs but Mac will tell you that it has
gone through several variations to become what it is today.
This is a great, lightweight solo canoe for a moderately
sized person. The seat is mounted on cleats on the bottom
of the hull and it is paddled with a double bladed kayak
paddle. Think of this as an open kayak with no cockpit
to deal with.

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.

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".
