Ted Moores

Ted Moores (born June 25, 1943) is a Canadian boat builder, author, and educator. His book ''Canoecraft'' has sold over 300,000 copies worldwide.

Moores is best known for duplicating a method of building canoes first developed in Minnesota by Irvin C. Peterson, Karl Ketter, and Eugene B. Jensen using woodstrip epoxy techniques, a style well-suited to the home builder. By applying thin layers of fibreglass to either side of a wooden hull, Moores' canoes employ the principles of core-composite construction in a design that is both durable and lighter than traditional rib-and-plank construction.
