Description
Stewart River canoes and boats are built by me, Alex Comb. I started canoeing when I was eleven and built my first boat shortly thereafter.
On one of my first trips to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in the mid 1960's I saw a wood and canvas canoe and the image hung in my minds' eye until I built my first canoe in 1972. I started Stewart River Boatworks in 1979 with a 14' tandem canoe model and have since added and subtracted canoes until today we build 9 different models. Living near the shores of Lake Superior for the past twenty years, I began kayaking, as a way to navigate the rocky shores of Superior's North Shore, and have added a series of Greenland inspired sea kayaks to our standard models. Rowing boats have been built to suit customers' requests, though most of the boat models listed on these pages were chosen because they reflect the kind of boating I like to do.
Not wanting to reinvent the wheel, I have borrowed canoe designs when they were available. The traditional designs I prefer are those built by Chestnut and E. M .White. When the existing designs weren't quite "right" I modified
