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.

Thanks,

The American standard text for small boats used to be one by a guy
name of Hall.
I'll look it up when I get home from the public library if I can
remember.
In Eurpoe it's called "clinker".
