Ribbed Matte Canoe with Curved Bow (12ft) - OMH (K080M)

Description

This canoe is a real-life, life-sized version of a classic watercraft design that has been used by Indigenous peoples for thousands of years. The canoe is constructed with a traditional ribbed structure, using a combination of steamed and bent wooden ribs that are held in place with thwarts, gunwales, and a keel. The ribs provide strength and flexibility to the canoe, allowing it to withstand the rigors of being paddled on lakes, rivers, and streams.

The bow of the canoe is curved upwards, creating a distinct and recognizable shape that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. The curve of the bow helps to cut through waves and choppy water, allowing the canoe to move smoothly and efficiently through the water. The matte finish of the canoe gives it a natural, earthy look and feel, which complements the traditional construction techniques used to build it.

Measuring 12 feet in length, this canoe is the perfect size for a solo or tandem paddler to navigate smaller bodies of water with ease. It is lightweight enough to be carried by one person, but sturdy enough to handle the weight of gear and equipment for an extended camping trip.

Overall, this canoe with ribs, a curved bow, and matte finish made by OMH is a beautiful and functional watercraft that pays tribute to the rich history and traditions of Indigenous peoples. It is a real-life, life-sized version of a classic design that has stood the test of time and continues to be used and enjoyed by paddlers around the world.

After a Dutch company told me they were no longer taking orders, a Chinese company did not respond and an American one did not offer the desired finish, I ended up at Premier Ship Models in January 2024. I opted for a premium finish from 6-8 months for the build of a 1990 Hinkley Sou'wester. With nothing more than a top view and a side view and a lot of photos they got to work. 9 times I got an update with photos to assess the progress and make comments. I happily made a photo album of this. I asked for quite a few corrections, which were all carried out. The only downside was a huge underestimation of the shipping costs. But the ship was very well packed and delivered in September. The sailing ship had suffered a bit on the journey, but I was able to repair that easily, except for the downhaul - it was too simple and would break off again immediately. I left that out (it would still be nice to receive a "real life" version). The correspondence was very good, my sincere thanks to the team for the great job!

The first time I used Premier Ship Models was for a kit of the Batavia, this year. (2024). I was so happy with the service that when I was looking at getting the 'ghost ship' The Flying Dutchman, I checked around online and was extremely pleased to find they had it. Not only that but they were cheaper than other model ship kit suppliers I have used in the past. And again, on top of that it only took 8 days to get from placing the order in the UK to having FedEx deliver it on my doorstep in Western Australia. To put that into perspective, I am still awaiting delivery via Australia Post for some parts from Sydney NSW, three separate orders placed 15 days ago.... Extremely satisfied and would recommend them to anyone.

Premier Ship Models did a great job of finding the kit I was after, an Aeronaut Pilot boat. Once found, it shipped quickly, but was held up in customs. Premier reached out to me and customs, and I received the kit a few days later. Premier is now one of my go-tos for European and Asian rc ship models.

Best place for your model needs without a doubt. I had a little trouble with an order (not Premier's fault) and I couldn't have asked for better support. Whenever I needed an answer or had a question the people at Premier responded usually within 24 hrs. They never left me waiting for an answer. Best business I have seen for customer service.
