This little canoe is more of a play thing but can be and is used (under supervision) by kids or a small adult.My own teenagers have built and used this canoe though now they will be building bigger ones. It is also being regularly built by a charity who have a mini regatta every year. It is a little under 8'  at 7' - 7" (2.31m) long and 2' - 2" wide at it's widest point. Built in 1 sheet of 4mm plywood and some 6mm for the bulkheads, it is also very light.It has been built as a garden ornament/planter and a toy box.
