To make my first prototype, I was thinking about buying two identical canoes, connecting them with a platform, keep about 1m of space between them, and put two seats onto the platform. Speed would be about 10 knots max, and the water quite still (harbour). The boat's upper body will be a tent tarp over fibreglass rods, like an igloo tent. Will that cruise and maneuver OK, or am I going to be in trouble? Thanks.

If I want to ship, say a big canoe (25 kg), from the States to the UK what is the best way to go about? Most companies, selling canoes and small boats, in the States only ship in the States. Thus I need to organise a personal shipment; and that is my problem.

If I spend £400 (which is pretty much) on shipment it will still be cheaper to do so than to buy it in the UK! It’s crazy!
