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.
