Building A Strip Canoe

Gil Gilpatrick has supervised the construction of more than 400 canoes in over 25 years of teaching Outdoor Resources in a vocational school. His friendly voice of experience addresses the novice or accomplished woodworker in easy step-by-step directions.
     Covering everything from safety in the boat shop to repairs, Gil thoroughly explains the whys and shortcuts learned from his experience in the shop and on the water - a Master Maine Guide, he uses his own canoes and tests their performance on the challenging Allagash River every summer.
     This revised edition of Building A Strip Canoe includes plans and patterns for eight well-proven designs, most of which are Gil’s own adaptations. Step-by-step directions are accompanied by more than 100 photographs, plus illustrations. Publisher: DeLorme
