Hi everyone,
I thought it would be appropriate for my first forum post to be an inquiry about my new project. I recently acquired a 17' OTCA in Kingsport, TN from the third owner. Serial number is 127585. Any information about the build sheet would be great. The previous owner (a former WCHA member) did a lot of restoration work on it to include replacing ribs, stripping, etc. I hope to take it over the finish line. I've ordered the books, "This Old Canoe" and "The Wood & Canvas Canoe" to get ready to jump in. I've attached a couple of pictures of her current condition. Looks like all the parts are there except the keel. I'm sure I'll be reaching out for advice.
Thanks to Michael Grace, Benson Gray and Annie Burke for reaching out and making me feel welcome.
