The Dragonfly Rowing Shell was developed in response to a request from a Canadian Canoes customer. It fits that line between hard-to-master racing shell and much-too-sedate recreational shell. It is fun to row, but a challenge to build. Construction is woodstrip cedar with fiberglass outside and in. The wing rigger is also laminated wood.
This is a project for a motivated and somewhat experienced builder. The reason is that the only building manual which is exists is a series of pictures taken during the first build. The plans are well detailed and contain all information necessary.
We have heard from several happy builders who have successfully completed the Dragonfly.
