great way to canoeing - By: M. J. Cosgrove, 27 Jul 2007
This book is well written, technical enough without being geeky, & understandable.
The prices are for the usa & therfore alot different from the uk but with some serching the items can be found on the web at reasonable cost.
The canoe designs in the book are a good mix, one for everyone if you want to build one or alll three this perect.the other thing i found iis that the book was more about enjoying canoeing ie getting on the water rather than creating a work of art, which suits some people maybe me one day
A good guide for a resourceful canoe builder. - By: , 06 Apr 1999
I bought this book & used it to build an ultralight solo Kevlar canoe that I'm very happy with. The construction process was fun, & it's certainly more satisfying to make your own Kevlar boat than to pay $2000 for a new one. An added benefit of building your own is that you'll have complete confidence -- & the necessary materials -- when you need to repair it. This book is not an absolutely complete, step-by-step guide; however. You will have to use your ingenuity from time to time & read between the lines. I definitely recommend it if you want to build with Kevlar; indeed, it's the only book of its kind. But you should read it three times before you start building, & discuss its method with your resin/fabric supplier, who may give you valuable supplemental information. And, ideallly, talk to someone who has already built a canoe using these methods. And search the web for discounted second-quality Kevlar fabric, which is perfectly good for boat building!
