Hi Tom,

That boat looks alot like the one I paddled. The commute to take the lines off might be a bit much though, specially since the one I paddled is in town :)

The guy's boat I paddled has built a wood strip canoe before so is interested in getting the lines so he can too make a wood strip version for himself. Probably do it sometime this fall I suspect :)

These things are kinda hard to find, went looking on the net last night. Think most are hanging up in peoples garages unused.
