Description

Welcome to the Cedar Strip Canoe and Kayak group, where novice and expert builders alike can discuss the construction techniques of building a light but tough hull, using wood strips and fibreglass. We welcome all questions and comments on the subject.

New members are always welcome, but Membership is restricted, subject to approval. This feature helps us to assure the site remains family-friendly and spam-free. Posting priveleges by new members will be moderated until after their first post has been accepted.
