Despite my hard efforts to be gentle with the canoe, my roommate decided trip over something and test the hulls structural capabilities. The hull failed the test. I patched the ~20" crack with a strip of fiberglass cloth and epoxy, but I'm not sure how well I did. Hopefully the fiberglass cloth laid on the outside will be enough. I am a bit worried about bubbles of air in the cloth leading to leaks.
I finished the inside seams. The color difference in the main seam is due to a change in wood flour. Not the most aesthetically pleasing, but now my canoe is not symmetrical, so it should be easier keeping track of which way is front. Although I haven't yet decided which is the front.
