Gary, I don't think the canoe molds will work as a Dirigo hull mold. While I guess that the original Dirigo was conceived using canoe and melonseed ideas, the freeboard of the Dirigo hull is way less than that of a canoe. The canoe would work only if it was cut way down.

I wish some of our early contributors who posted that they also had Dirigos would also let us know what they've been up to lately. D17 and Lee P, where are you? I'm trying to get out on the water once a week, but it's been really windy lately.
