Jim MacLachlan gives a wonderful presentation on Henry Wicksteed and his canoe. The canoe was designed in 1911 and Jim commissioned Joe Calnan to build one for him.
Thank you! Very informative! Im actuallyin the process of recanvasing a Chestnut Prospector 14. Code name Fire. Im pretty sur it is that since it fits all the dimensions on the wooden canoe museum site. I wonder if its design was influenced by this design...? I believe the prospector series was developed later... Kind of similar design this boat and yours....without the rocker...this one being more in the order of 2 or 3 inches... a dream to paddle...and SO stable! Very reassuring but not a slog on flat water like the Vertige which I have owned and it had a flat bottom....
