Canvas 1

This part of the project was very interesting - stretching the canvas on the hull. The rig you see below took a day to setup, and iron out the weak points. The cargo bars hold the canoe in the canvas "envelope", while the come-along stretches horizontally. Alot of creaking and groaning !!!
The canvas clamps that you see on each end of this 21 foot piece of canvas, are home-made tongue and groove, for extra holding power.
