An old friend of mine has this 14' Huron that he bought to use as a solo canoe.  He was looking to expand its usefulness so we decided that putting in kneeling thwarts made a lot of sense.  Simpler than seats, very comfortable (I assured him), and keeps your center of gravity low.

These are made of Ash and I stained them to keep the colours in line with the rest of the canoe's trim.
