Thanks for the pics and posts, Friz. I've enjoyed looking in to see how it's done.

That is amazingly beautiful!
I know I would never be able to build anything that beautiful, kit or not.
The people in this group are unbelievably talented.
When it meets spec in the simplest most reliable way... QUIT MESSING WITH IT!

Looks stunning! I am probably going to do a CLC canoe this year coming up after my trailer is done.

What technique do they use to seal the doors?

The doors will seal against foam. They utilize a belcrank and rods to latch the door top and bottom. Warning, this style of construction is addictive. I'm sure I will be building a CLC kayak or two next winter.

Do they use an external flat plate to make the seal? Or internal?

I am looking at doing a two man canoe to carry on the roof of our off road exhibition trailer I am building.

I need to figure out the best way to seal our rear barn doors.
