To the best of my knowlwdge there is only one book currently being offered about building canoes in 'glass. It is very thorough and paints a method that is an a**-buster.
If this guy has somehow distilled all the back-labor out of that method he must be a genious.
I suspect he is no smarter than the rest but has just settled for something that is less than what you would get in a professionally made boat.
That coke-bottle hull doesn't cut it for looks. As of this moment that baby has replaced the "Six-Hour Canoe" as the one boat I would never consider building, even under tortur.

: Forgive me if this has been covered recently, but when I was checking my
: Amazon order for Nick's new book, which just shipped, I noticed a book
: called Canoe and Kayak Building the Light and Easy Way by Sam Rizetta.

: It was $16 so I figured that I'd be willing to waste that on it. I'm linking
: to the author's website below.

: Anyone have this book? Thought?
