Boats Using old and new materials and technology - ocean going out rigger canoe

[Old Gray Mare]

Sad the beautiful wood had to be covered with the black dry carbon fiber material. Composite - resin and fusion, vacuum bagging used. Process explained in video. The goal is to produce a light strong vessel. I know for a fact there's no way I'd want to be out in the ocean in big waves on this.

Fair use.

Work continues on the out rigger canoe. They look excited and tired at the same time. Good thing they're young.

At about the 28 minuet mark, two men pick the collapsed boat up and load it on to the top of what looks like a relatively small van.

After All That Work..​

In this video the whole canoe comes together with all her component. We mount the bulkheads, alas, deck, drive well, daggerboard case, etc. etc. and we load her up to head back to Florida where we finish her off with a beautiful paint job. If you would like us to let you know when the plans or kit is available for this boat sign up for our Talullah Canoe specific email list here

May be of significant interest to anyone who's thinking of: bugging out by boat, specifically canoe, going back to the land in Florida. Anyone who thinks the younger generation is only a bunch of snowflakes? May be in for a surprise.

Now they did have a purpose in mind for this particular vessel. It wasn't to design a tough, small, light weight, portable two person, marine BOV that could be sailed or paddled.... initially. Enjoy - OGM

300-miles On This Small Boat through Florida Wilderness - The Everglades Challenge Full Movie​

Tula's Endless Summer
May 29, 2023
The Everglades challenge is a 300-mile unsupported, expedition style race for kayaks, canoes, and small boats. You must propel your craft by either man power or wind, and you must be able to push your boat off the beach yourself, all of these things making it one of the most difficult small boat races in the country. The Tallulah canoe seemed like a perfect fit and we wanted to see if we were up to the challenge. Come with us as we try to avoid pythons, gators, dead fish, and a big black wall of doom!!
