Lashing


The next stage of our canoe is the lashing.  I admin I was skeptical about if it would be strong enough, or if the ribs would move.  I originally though that we might need to do a few more wraps than shown in the instructions, but after we completed one rib, I was convinced.  The lashing holds the ribs in place.  It does allow for minor movements, but I think this is by design.

The method is to start at the keelson and move toward the gunwale.  Then repeat on the other side.
