The Precut Plywood for Building the Eureka is direct from the plan
All Components to make the Eureka in the Photo above and the drawing below are precut. The minimum we supply are all the precut plywood components. But we can supply precut timber for the nice detailed timberwork of the Eureka
All plywood side and bottom panels are cut to exact size so you just glue the joints together to form the length, stitch it all together, and start your epoxy work.
All timbers in the kit are shipped slightly long so that you can trim to exact size on your boat. The deck and bulkhead plywood are also a small bit oversize to be trimmed to exact size and, in the case of the deck to the style you prefer.
There is a simple jig for aligning the precut scarf joins in the long timbers.
This is a nice boat to build that you can be proud of. Also, our kit comes with cypress timbers and marine okuome plywood. Mahogany spacer blocks like the ones shown here can be included in lieu of cypress if you prefer at no additional cost.
The idea for a Eureka Canoe Kit came at the Mystic Seaport Wooden Boat Show
While in Mystic, Ct. at the Wooden Boat Family Boat Building School a few years ago Michael Storer and I got to discussing new kits for me to develop and we decided that his Eureka Canoe design would make a nice kit so here it is. More information about the Eureka Canoe is here.
This nice little canoe is 16′ long and easily handles 2 adults with gear.
Single or Double Paddle Setup
The seats can also be set up for a single paddler if you prefer. It is very stable by canoe standards and easy for a first time builder to build from our kit.

Why Build From One of Our Boat or Canoe Kits.
Looking forward to following up with this 16 footer in the not too distant future. Under doctors care for some back recovery then back to my workshop to build a canoe. I don’t know much about boats and the nomenclature but I’m hoping the instructions are very clear to follow
Hi John,
You will find the plans very good. There is also online assistance from the Storer Boat Plans group on facebook. There are often two or three Eurekas building at one time plus the designer himself available.
Here is the link! https://www.facebook.com/groups/storerboatplans/
