: I have been checking in on this site on a regular basis since first finding
: it a few weeks ago. Kayaking is easily my favorite past time. I've built a
: strip kayak and I have bought a manufactured kayak as well. I enyoy using
: both. I get alot of looks and questions anytime I take the stripper. I
: also enjoy canoeing and I'm in the process of restoring an old chestnut
: cedar strip canoe that has been in the family for close to 40 years. A
: site similar to this, specific to canoe building would be a big help. If
: anybody knows of such a site I would appreciate the info. thanks in
: advance.

www.bearmountainboats.com has a builders forum. The WCHA is a good site. There is also a site that has all kinds of stuff about canoes and canoe sailing, but not alot specifically about building. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~fassitt/canoe_mirror/canoe_sailing.html#index Now THAT is a mouthful! Not much there in terms of building, but the history is pretty cool.
