Building the Six-Hour Canoe

by John Montague

Building the Six-Hour Canoe Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A gudie to building a canoe that contains scale plans, specifications, a tool list, step-by-step instructions, and even a helpful explanation of how to paddle the canoe. All the building operations are clearly illustrated with photos and sketches. The canoe is constructed from a single 4'x16' (or two 4' x 8' sheets) sheet of marine plywood and a few pieces of dimensional lumber and, with epoxy glued seams, is watertight from the moment it hits the water. When completed, the canoe is 15'3" in length with a 311/2" beam. Inexpensive to build using ordinary tools and materials, the canoe gives everybody access to boatbuilding and a boat.

Synopsis:

Complete step-by-step instructions and plans for building this clever and capable design built from one sheet of 4x16 ft. plywood, some dimensioned lumber and common tools.
