Adirondack Guide Boat - 15' |
The Adirondack Guide boats were used in the the north counrty of upstate NY in the 19th and early 20th Centuries for hunting, portaging etc and have a very distinctive shape with fairly pinched bow/stern sections and slack bilge shape. Beam was kept low so that they were rowed with a cross handed technique. Construction shown is simple stitch and glue ply construction. LOA 15’ (4.7m); Beam 3’4 1/2” (2.85m); Midship hull depth 12” (0.3m); Weight approx 70lbs (32kg). The pics shown are of the clinker ply construction. This kit is for the stitch & glue version. The lapstrake will be coming soon. |
