If you're looking for a Christmas gift for your favorite canoe sailor, might I recommend the 2009 edition of *WoodenBoat*'s *Small Boats* magazine? Along with...
Canoe Sailing Magazine is fast approaching its 500th member, so we thought it would be a cool idea to help make that happen with a membership drive! How? -Go...
Bout time you got some recognition. Toiling away in the musty depths of various museums or forced to get your feet wet at regular intervals. The 2 best...
From the WoodenBoat store [see http://www.woodenboat.com/wbmag/small-boats.html] or at most bookstores with a good magazine section. It's usually stocked...
Would it do you any good? We couldn't pry Jan Gougeon out of it. Last year got becalmed. You coming next year? We would like enough 16x30's for a challenge ...
Do they exist? I'm having a hard time finding anyone selling traditional clinker construction. Everyone substitutes glued ply construction. Thats great, but I...
Iain Oughtred's plans are for epoxy ply and real clinker. My understanding is that most of Iain's designs are buildable in clinker. Give him a call, he is...
The problem you face is that very few people are building traditional lapstrake canoes on a professional basis anymore. The ones that I can think of right away...
I have experience in Clinker though I find glued generally lighter and more resilient. Essentially you are dealing with lighter materials in a canoe but the...
Not entirely clear from your message if you'd like to build the boat yourself or have it built for you? As far as plans go, Pete Culler designed two lapstrake...
Is it much harder to plank it traditionally than it is using plywood and glue? Should I give up on trying to go the traditional route? Why are glued lapstrake...
Why do you want a "traditional lapstrake" boat? Is it a desire to have a working replica of an antique? Much as one might want a restored MG TC for fine,...
It's just the coolest way to build boats (in theory anyway). The romanticism of planing and then riveting a lap on to a boat is just too much. You don't get...
My intent wasn't to denigrate aesthetic appeal. My apologies if that was your understanding. I'm as addicted to the beautiful sweep of a fair line as the next...
Not harder to plank but certainly less forgiving unless you use heavier materials. Rushton was down to 1/4 inch planking in order to save weight,which is just...
Is it a boat? Or is it a project? The question is of course "What is the use to which this boat is intended?" Probably could have said that in less wordy...
I started looking for that review in WB. Not locally available. I wanted to see if WB knows the difference tween a racer and a cruiser. I'm sure they do. ... ...
Hugh I have been away from the canoe sailing scene for a while, a modern version of the 1870's canoe yawl 15'6" x 4" has been taking up all my time, see here ...
