After putting a new stem band on "the 60th" today, we brought down one of the three Kildonan canoes that are sitting in the dinning hall rafters. This canoe is a beast! In fact it is so big that it does not fit on the current canoe racks that we have. So right now it is on a couple of saw horses.
After putting it in the water for a while we saw that it had a heavy leak at the bow and a small leak at the stern, both where the keel is pealing away from the hull. Other than this, the canoe is in relatively good shape. Tomorrow I'm going to lift the keel off and run a bead of marine grade silicone and secure the keel back down. We'll see if that does it. Maybe we can get some campers taking it on trip on Sunday!
I'll add some pictures tomorrow.
