: a magazine, he was wanting to try this again. I'm not familiar with all
: the canoe sites around, but, he seemed most interested in trying a Stitch
: and Glue and might attempt a stripper if the boys get the bug. Are there
: any S & G types out there?? Besides the Rob-Roy from Glen-L, which is
: what I'm building for my grand-children. ( way too small for him )

Two words: Selway Fisher. Actually, as one word it's their URL. If
your friend is already into canoes, the SF designs are probably closest
in design and performance to a production boat, especially compared to
the flat-bottomed pirogue-style canoes one often sees in S&G.

There's also the Sweet Dream, which can be built in sizes approaching
what you describe. It's by Marc Pettingil (sp?), and comes up high in a
web search.

Good luck!
