Repair Kayak

I was given a Kayak. I was told it was built in 1935. It is 13foot long. Has wood strips held together by u-shaped metal bands. The canvas was held on with real small tacks. Does anyone know who made this Kayak and does year sound about right? Canvas needs replacing any sugestions on what type of canvas to use and how to attach? Wood is in good shape. Would like to know history of this type Kayak. Is it common? Thanks!!
