In Response To: Strip: Hybrid Ply-Stripper Canoe (ancient kayaker)

This is becoming an ancient thread indeed! Good news is, my aches and pains seem to be in remission, fingers now open almost all the way and can hold a screwdriver once more, and I can stay on my feet for an hour or maybe too. The last few days I have been eyeing the boat “with intent” as the British cops used to say of their prime suspect. Hopefully I still have my build diary around someplace so I can continue adding up the hours that it is taking. Of course gardening tools and supplies have are clogging up the floor and benches and the wild beasts lurking in the long grass will have to be evicted but the cleaning up has started, at least.

As those who read my blog will know I get my kicks from trying out different ways to build small boats, and the 4-1/2 month forced delay means my building is behind my ideas by two or three boats. One of the things I would like to attempt is a lapstrake ply boat like Tom Hills’ but with a much simpler form. Another is a version of this method that adds aspect of Kurt Hughes cylinder molding method to the stripper construction.

I really do appreciate all the encouragement I get from this forum, as well as the ideas and insights from your years of experience. I am determined to see this boat to the end.
