: To the best of my knowlwdge there is only one book currently being offered
: about building canoes in 'glass. It is very thorough and paints a method
: that is an a**-buster.
: If this guy has somehow distilled all the back-labor out of that method he
: must be a genious.
: I suspect he is no smarter than the rest but has just settled for something
: that is less than what you would get in a professionally made boat.
: That coke-bottle hull doesn't cut it for looks. As of this moment that baby
: has replaced the "Six-Hour Canoe" as the one boat I would never
: consider building, even under torture.
Well, I supose I'm a bit skeptical too, but I'm also intrigued. I like tradition as much as most around here, but I am also curious about the results of innovation. I'm curious enough that I'd like to have a closer look at both the book and the boat. I'm not going to order it sight unseen though, at least not until I hear from a few folks that enjoy it. On the other hand, I have left my number with my local book store which has Nick's new boat on order. As soon as I get the call, I'll be adding that one to my library!
I'd like to know what the "Wasp" looks like below the waterline.
Cheers,
Bryan
