The Six Hour Canoe is amazingly similar to the "Cheap Canoe" from bateau.com
There's a number of builders on the message boards found through the links
on http://www.bateau.com and there's an excellent tutorial on stitch & glue
(a.k.a. slop and goo) on the site as well. It takes some navigating though
since it looks like they're re-disigning the site.

For my first project i am going to build the 'six hour canoe' from the
book.

Anyone have any experience or know of related websites?

Thanks!



It may look similar but there are major differences between the
bateau.com canoe and the 60 hr canoe.
The 6 hr canoe has a lot more rocker than the Cheap Canoe.
The 6hr canoe is designed as a wooden boat with stem pieces and other
wood framing, there is no such thing in the Cheap Canoe, the structure
is all fiberglass.
The Cheap Canoe is much easier to build. The plans are free, you don't
have to pay for the book.
Check the free plans here and you will see the difference:

Click around and you will find several web sites and pictures of the
Cheap Canoe.
It's a large PDF file, give it time to download.
