In Response To: consider glued lapstrake (Peter Lyons)

I have plans for Ian Oughtred's "MacGregor" canoe. It is glued lapstrake. The strakes are hard to figure out, but then it would be an easy build from there. No stinkin' fiberglass cloth, just epoxy. It's a sailing canoe, available from Wooden Boat, but you probably already knew that. The station molds have "tick marks" for each strake so that you can lay the strakes out right on the forms.

He drew plans for one of the slickest looking canoe yawls I've ever seen. It has a glued lapstrake hull with a fairly wide beam. I don't recall the size but it was a pocket cruiser design. Nice trailerable lightweight boat with a comfy cabin and shoal draft.

Cheers,

Malcolm
