I am currently considering my next boat project to be a lapstrake
canoe but I have never built one before and my experience is now
limited to the strip composite boat I am currently building. Do any
of you know of a good book on Amazon to get that explains how
lapstrake is done? Are there benfits to lapstrake over other types of
construction? I have a lot of questions about the technique so I'm
hoping for something pretty thorough.

My website about building the Puffin (Iain Oughtred design) might be of
help. This dingy is not a classic clinker built but glued plywood. But it
gives you a good impression about taking the measures of a strake and all.
