I've recently stumbled across a couple of web sites with designs
for tiny one-sheet or one-and-a-half-sheet boats, and I thought
I might have a go at making one. There are a couple of gaps in
my knowledge though:


Third, what type of plywood should I be looking for? Am I
correct in assuming that I must use 'marine ply' for this
light-use application in a small one-person boat, or are
there alternatives that I should consider? Price is more
of a consideration than durability, since my interest is
more in the building than the using!

The Wooden Boat Association Newsletter (NSW) might have adverts of interest.

Have a look around your local Marinas. There are umpteen boat builders
and/or boat timber suppliers within a few hundred metres of where my boat
is moored.
