Sasquatch 18-5

Sasquatch 18-5

The Sasquatch Wilderness Tripping Canoe is designed with long-term camping in mind. Its large hull will easily haul all your camping gear with a maximum payload of 800 pounds (363 k) while still maintaining a reasonable amount of maneuverability through rough waters and long journeys.

If you find yourself on a trip needing to take more than 800 pounds of people and gear, better pack lighter or take 2 canoes instead!

Sasquatch Wooden Canoe

The hull can be configured as triple or as a tandem with the middle left open for gear. In a three-paddler configuration, the middle paddler would need to be a smaller person as having 3 full grown adults might get crowded and uncomfortable for more than a short trip.

The hull is moderately arched and rocked 2" on each end to allow for traveling down tight rivers and choppy water. The fine bow entry and exit will aid in making long trips over open water efficient.

-We also off a precut plywood kit for this model.

Cost:

For epoxy and fiberglass, starting price will be about $340 plus shipping in the United States depending on the brand and vendor you choose. This doesn't include items such as varnish, brushes, rollers, mixing sticks, gloves, etc. See our list of trusted suppliers.

For marine grade plywood, price will be about $200 if you pick it up yourself. Delivery cost of full sheets of plywood is expensive. Please compare our pre-cut plywood kit price if you are considering having plywood delivered. Our precut kit price may be cheaper than what you'll pay for the full sheets and delivery.

A builder who chooses to draw and cut out all the panels manually from marine grade plywood can save around $200 over the cost of CNC cut kit. However, drawing and cutting the multiple panels on this design will be time consuming and there will be a risk of error.

Labor:

Please Note: This is a multi-paneled hull and will require significantly more effort to assemble than some of our simple designs. If you're a first-time builder, we highly recommend you consider completing a simpler project first. What you learn on the first project will allow you to build a better, lighter second project.

The hull will required about 50-65 hours to complete. You can save about 10-15 hours with a precut kit. These times are rough estimates and will vary according to the skill of the builder. Please note these are "hands on" hours and do not include the time waiting for epoxy to cure.
