Here is "BalladHunter," a 16-foot cedar-strip design from Ted Moores called "The Prospector." We purchased the hull half-built and spent 5 weeks finishing with maple decks, cheery thwart, and cedar mast and boom. Yes, we converted it into a canoe-sailor for the obvious reason that there are three huge lakes on the 720-mile journey. Easier to sit back and sail than paddle those.
