Try the September/October 1996 issue of Wooden Boat magazine. In case you don't have back issues, it's an article about Harry Bryan. The Fiddlehead "is based on Platt Monfort's fiberglass Puddle Dipper, which in turn was based on Rushton's Wee Lassie canoe." It's a double paddle partially decked canoe, I'd guess about 12' long. The hull is planked lapstrake. It's an attractive little boat. The article about Harry is worth reading if you can get it. He builds boats up in Nova Scotia in a shop without electricity.
