In Response To: Re: Hard chined v. round bottom (Chris)

This book calls for open cockpit boats, but as you'll see from the examples around here, the design is very flexible and easily modified. If you are considering camping with these boats, Mike Hank's plywood version may be better as it could accomodate hatches and possibly bulkheads. It would also be more durable. That said, I would have to say a stich & glue like Ross built (mentioned above) would be a good option. It too could be built in an assembly line fashion using the type of cradles that Ross made.
