Hi Joe,
I've built both the CLC cheasepeake 16LT and 17LT. I've also built a
strip canoe. There is a lot of info on the web. Do a search on Amazon
for books on the subject. Stich and glue is a quick and easy way to get
aboat together. Strip built is much slower but you can make a fantastic
looking boat. Reply back with any specific questions, I'll be happy to help.

Now that the spring is apparently on the way, I am again toying with
the idea of building my own one man kayak. I would appreciate any
advice on a plan or resource that help anyone to have a success. I
was thinking about 16 - 17 '. Thanks in advance.
