In Response To: Other: New project (Kent LeBoutillier)

: Hey All,

: It's been a while since I had a boat project but I've got a repair
: project for a friend. He dropped off a Whitehall rowing skiff
: that his dad was in the process of repairing for the grand kids
: before he died. She doesn't look in to bad of shape and I've
: been told it's an old one but I'm not so sure. Since I know very
: little about lap strake construction, I'm wondering if anyone
: here has any experience with making repairs and if anyone has
: any idea how to determine age and manufacturer. I plan to pull
: the cover and do some looking tomorrow before it snows.

: Kent

Woodenboat publications has a book on lapstrake boatbuilding. Should give you pretty much all the answers you need: http://www.woodenboatstore.com/Lapstrake-Boatbuilding-30th-Anniversary-Edition/productinfo/300-738/
