Our new Apache Tribe canoe.

Bought the hull and wood kit from Stewart at Apache canoes, and I have to say what a nice guy to deal with. Finally finished it and took it out for its maiden voyage on the Brecon and Mon canal with my youngest daughter.

Looks good well done

Very nice, it looks like you've done a great job with that

That's a really nicely finished boat.

You get a lot of "home finished" Apache's, that don't turn out quite as nicely

Well done

Steve

You've done a lovely job finishing that boat off, you'll be proud as punch drifting down the water in her. (Has she got a name?) Will bring you years of happy memories that will.

Thanks for all the kind comments The hull is fibreglass and ash woodwork, It took me probably about 25 hours,but thats a bit of a guess as I did a couple of hours here and there. But I used to work as a bench joiner so wasnt too bad. You definately need a belt sander for this job. My daughter picked out the colour so I'll let her name it, so I dread to think!!!
As I said Stewart from Apache canoes is a top bloke and cant help enough.
