I built a canoe using Gil Gilpatrick's book "Building a Strip Canoe". It has plans for 8 canoes in it. His designs are simpler to build because they do not use stem pieces.

: Hi, everyone.

: I don't know if this is the appropriate way to introduce myself, but I'm a
: canoeist (sp). I also am interested in making canoes. I've made two so
: far, but have not been satisfied with the results. I'm interested in some
: "free" plans on making a strip canoe with ribbed design that's
: 15-16' long, with tall bow and stern. Should be about 30' at the beam.
: Also, how do I read any responses to this post? Need help.
