Todd Kerr builds a Cinderella
This smart little canoe built to my Cinderella plans built by Tod Kerr will be launched on the Chesapeake in a few weeks. It’s great to see that he has followed the building instructions to a ‘T’ and has come up with an excellent result.
The plans he used are included in my book Ultrasimple Boat Building, which was published by International Marine some years ago and which is still available from Amazon and elsewhere. (The book plans are a little more worked out than the earlier Cinderella plans available from this site and, as it’s a book, come with much more detail about the boat building method.)
Despite ‘looking right’ the Cinderella is very quick and cheaply made water-borne vehicle, and all reports show that she paddles very nicely. Thanks for letting me know about your project Tod! Read all about Tod’s Cinderella -and find out how she took just $30 in materials here.
