Modify a Taureau for kids - advice?

Post by TMount »

I'm looking to cut the deck off an old Esquif Taureau to make it a kid friendly OC1. Has anyone tried this? Any suggestions?

Why cut off the deck, are you looking for a weight saving?
Is it not already an OC1?

Don't see the value add. If they are having issues paddling it its too big for them. In a few years you'll wish you would have left it as is if they grow to like paddling canoes! My $.01!
