In the US they have competitions for concrete canoes, and there used to be a US manufacturer of paper canoes: http://kcupery.home.isp-direct.com/index.html ...
This is too good of an idea to pass up .... Oh boating status be redefined in the small: cosmic inverse growth. OK, that's a little airy, so something more...

Came out well. I'm putting the decks on mine right now. What did you do to keep the mast up. My main mast will work fine in the 24' version; but in the 16ft...
