About this event
Katherine Bellows, our Carolina Kayak Club instructor and member, is an experienced kayaker and boat builder, "I built my first boat in 1997, from a Chesapeake Lightcraft kit. The second one in 2019 was constructed using a kit from the same company. That boat is still pictured in Chesapeake Lightcraft promotional material. My skin on frame canoe was built using frame plans from Cape Falcon Kayak of Oregon."
She will display the canoe at our meeting.
She tested her canoe on local lakes and the Tar River, then traveled to upstate New York to paddle the Northern Canoe Trail in June of 2024. She paddled the 90 miler in Sept.
Join her to hear about her experiences and ask questions on boat construction when you decide to build one!
