Default Cedar Strip Construction

If you can get a copy of a book called: "Building the St. Pierre Dory" by
Mark White it details building 20+ foot boats using the strip plank method.
Mr. White does an impressive job with pictures and loads of information on
the entire process including which glues work and why....I would be happy to
forward excerpts from my copy if you would like.

Has anybody bought and built from a Compumarine plan? If so, could you
advise your experiences? I would like my next boat project to be a cedar
strip row/power boat and the John Clark plans look Ok on the web, but they
seem a bit expensive for what are essentially a set of hull templates.

Also, can anybody advise on what type(s) of glue are suitable for cedar
strip construction. Builders adhesive has been suggested. Here in
Australia the "Liquid Nails" product is sometimes referred to as builders
glue. Does anyone know whether this is the same product?

I would prefer to build without fasteners if possible, so any experience

out
there would be appreciated.

Many thanks.
