| Paddle Making - My method of producing a Greenland style paddle | |

Testing the Shetland waters in February. It was about 6 Celcius. |

A Pyrhana Master which I use to 'ramble' about the shoreline |

The main kayak is a P+H Dawn Treader. Big and built for expedition so it is little used. Another, in the background, is an Anas Acuta which is a chined boat with a low foredeck. Great for trying Greenland style paddles out on.

The picture on the left is from a Percy Blanford style double with a GRP hull and plywood deck. Unfortunately the owners have let this fall into ruin. |

A double built by my father and his friend
out of old ammunition boxes for frames and canvas covered. The paddles were oars spliced together. |
