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.

Okay so I have read your entire site and it's quite a beautiful boat.
I was wondering if you got the instruction from the designer and the
plans or if you have some experience with this sort of construction
and did it from memory.

Thanks,
Bill
