Outfitting a Canoe: British Style

This is how I outfit my personal canoe for British paddling. I use it on open water including the open sea, on white water and for sailing. This is very much how I outfit my boat for the use I give it in the UK.

There is no need to outfit to this degree if you are only going to paddle in easier places.

The information contained in the video would work for both polyethylene and T-formex/Royalex canoe EXCEPT for using a naked flame. THIS IS ONLY FOR POLYETHYLENE CANOES. It would easily damage T-Formex/Royalex and is completely unnecessary for those materials. DO NOT USE A FLAME ON T-FORMEX OR ROYALEX
