Build and Repair it Front Page

Welcome to Noel Heritage Canoes and Boats,

Welcome to the home of the only real Personal Water Craft, sorry for the "play" but nothing is more personal than your canoe or kayak and we can build and personalize one just for you

 

  About us

I started building small boats in the San Diego Harbor on the docks.  Using only salvage material from building sites, lumber mills and cabinet shops.  Today we still build using primarily salvage woods.  Recently I acquired a load of Paulownia logs destined to be bulldozed.  Lighter than western Red Cedar, Spruce and Redwood.  My next canoe will be made from the Paulowia logs that I had milled  and I will accent the canoe with strips of Redwood for character.

The Paddles also are made from salvage Mahogany and other woods, coming from shipping pallets and a whole host of other locations.  We do try to maintain a supply of western red cedar and red wood, when we can find it.

Please enjoy

Work in progress

 

This is a 16 foot, stretched out to 17 foot.  I have been working on this for myself in my spare time.

It is primarily made of western red cedar with some redwood for defining strips.  The gunwale, stems thwart and seats are made of mahogany I acquired from a flooring job.  the decks are made of 1/8 inch Luan inlaid with the fall off.  I will add some  Paulownia to accent the mahogany stems.
