I had a solo canoe years ago from Blackhawk canoe...a Fishhawk. I loved the canoe and should have never sold it. It was very narrow and about 12' long. I knew I wanted a little longer boat this time so found the dimensions from the web, added a couple of feet and about an inch on the width. I found a guy in the Twin Cities called Eskimo Tom who puts a design into a naval architecture program to do a plate expansion which will loft the form and create the panels. I asked for a 10 panel boat which is quite a few more than most people do. I should have done 6 or 8 which would have been much easier and probably nearly as fast. In a few weeks, I'll find out if I made a good choice!
