Wild Fish Conservancy is raffling a beautiful canoe, hand built and donated by Bill and Trudy Kindler. At fifteen feet long and 36 inches wide, designed to be paddled by two people, this exceptionally stable canoe is a great recreational/family boat.

 

 This is a gorgeous boat, hand laid from strips of reclaimed western red cedar, and trimmed in Honduras mahogany, Alaskan yellow cedar, and Peruvian walnut, with natural, hand caned seats, and brass fittings. The meticulous construction is as efficient and conservative as it is handsome, providing a high yield on wood, requiring only two 2x6’s for the entire hull.

 

It comes complete with two ash paddles hand made by the Shaw and Tenney Company, regarded as the gold standard in canoe paddles. The boat is valued at over $3,000. Tickets are $5 each, for a drawing in April 2007. All proceeds will support Wild Fish Conservancy research and conservation initiatives.

 

The canoe will be on display at the Wild Fish Conservancy Store in Duvall, WA, until the drawing in April. To purchase tickets, stop on by the store or contact Tyler Cluverius, WT Outreach and Development Coordinator, at 425-788-1167 or tyleratwashingtontrout.org.
