Cedar Strip Canoe
Sketching
The main charateristics of the design is the negative angle at bow and stem to give a strong contrast and impression of the curved wooden surface
foam model for the shape and definition of the charateristics and the hull
variant with foldable sail and outrigger
 
RHINO 3D
translateing the design into a rhino 3d model for further development of interior and packageing, as well as getting the splines for lasercutting the underconstruction to build the hull 
the tarpaulin is fixed to the hull via neodyn magnets
rhinoceros 3d packageing and ergonomics 
lightbow analysis to define and improve the glide characteristics of the hull
planning the under construction to build the hull
Prototypeing
lasercutting the under construction to build the hull
preparing the 6m stripes
Testing
At this point the canoe went very well through some tests on the water.
It is very fast and stable - from the lenght it needs some technic to handle on smaller rivers.
The interior as well as the tarpaulin is build during the next two month.
