TANDEM OR DOUBLE CANOE. 



PERHAPS no boat taxes more severely the skill of the designer 

 than a modern canoe, as there are so man- eoniiicting qualities 

 to combine in one harmonious whole, within very narrow limits of 

 size, weight ami draft, but difficult as the task is with a single canoe, 

 it is still harder with a double boat, and the best that can be expected 

 is a compromise, sacriiiciug many desirable points to others stul 

 more important. Such a. canoe should have, first, sufficient displace- 

 ment to Boat easily two men of average weight with their stores; 

 secondly, room for both men to sit in comfort, allowing room to move 

 around and stretch the legs: third, room for (hep stores and cloth- 

 ing; fourth, a foot-st coring gear by which either can steer. Such a 

 boat is usually intended also to be paddled by one man. if required, 

 to accomplish which no greater length is admissible than 10ft., both 

 on account of handiness and increased weight. 



If the boat is intended for a long cruise, where much luggage must 

 be carried, a length . d 17ft. with a beam of 32in. would be better, but 

 the same plans may be used, laving down the sections --"Jin. apart in 

 the working drawing, and placing the molds at the same distance.
