> My wife has explained to me that I am to build her a canoe. She's selected
> the Hiawatha as the boat for me to build (though I think she should build
> her own boat). There is one other I want to really investigate though, but
> I can't find the book anymore!

> The book I'm looking for was about lapstrake construction, and had a
> picture ofa fella on the cover holding a lapsrake kayak/canoe up in the
> air on one hand. I think he was on the beach doing it. I think it may have
> been titled something like "ultra light canoes" or such. Do any
> of you recognize this, and if so, can you tell me the name of the book and
> or author so I can order it?

> Also, any of you folks have any experience with lapstrake construction? If
> so, I'd like to hear about it.
