Note the asymmetrical arrangement of the thwarts ( exaggerated by the angle of the photo in this case). One seat s much nearer the yoke than the other, so the canoe can be paddled in either direction, by a solo paddler or by two people. Plenty of room on the floor for more paddlers, dog, camping stuff etc
You can see the workshop lean-to behind the canoe. You can also see the runs on the resin.. what you get if you try applying resin on a cold night, so it has time to drip before it sets..meh!
