Nick and his wife Robin sought a hassle-free boat for evening paddles and found the Mystic River Tandem canoe, designed by Nick to be a joy to paddle, comfortable, and efficient.
This canoe's classic, graceful lines and strip-planked construction make it well-suited for various settings, from drifting through the Adirondacks to crossing Maine's harbors. Exploring the waters of Groton and Mystic, Nick and his wife appreciate the long waterline and fine entry that enable efficient and speedy traveling. This canoe has good stability and can handle a reasonable load, although it's not as spacious as a cargo canoe.
Designed for fast, lightweight touring, the Mystic River Tandem serves as an ideal first project for those interested in building a cedar strip canoe.
Detailed plans and instructions, along with the option to purchase the manual without full-size patterns, are available.
Included in the Plans:
- Eight 24" x 36" [61cm x 91cm] Drawing Pages including: An overall drawing, a full size "stacked" form drawing showing all the forms and then all the forms drawn individually and at full size.
- This file requires a large format printer to make hardcopies. You may also try tiling the printing on a smaller printer. If you don't want to do that Full Size Printed Plans are available Here.
Included in the Manual:
- Building the Mystic River Tandem: A 65 page building manual describing the whole process of building the canoe.
Recommended Reading:

Printing Full Sized Boat Plans
Note: Our boat plans include full-sized drawings of the parts and forms needed to build the boat, as such they are best printed on a large format printer.
If you do not have access to a large format printer, visit Guillemot-Kayaks.com where we sell full-size hard copy of all these plans printed and ready to use. You may also try printing these by "tiling" using your own printer and taping together the large pages.
