Canoe Say Canoe 4

GAA student and volunteer helpers were really pushing it to finish the canoes before the scheduled launch day of May 21st. These are photos of the last few weeks of work. Special thanks to all other students who showed up to help us finish.

Special thanks to Alex for helping us hold the transom in place while securing it with PL Premium and drywall screws.

We used 4 inch diameter schedule 40 PVC pipe clamps to hold the bottom till the glue dried.

There was a trick to putting them on. They could be a little difficult to stretch.

Attaching the bow stem that would later be trimmed flush with the top and bottom of the canoe.

All ready to be primed and painted.
