Well, I had a wonderful Blackhawk Fishhawk (maybe Nighthawk) canoe years ago and seriously regret selling it. I looked for a used one or similar boat and no luck (at least at a price I wanted) . I decided to build and couldn't find a strip plan I liked. I ran across a guy in the Twin Cities (Eskimo Tom who will develop a plan for you to your specs......perfect.

He put together exactly what I wanted...solo, 26" beam and 14 ft long with a touch of rocker and tumblehome. I wanted to build a boat for a while so it was time.
I decided to do a blog on the construction because I found very little information on the web about building a plywood stitch and glue boat on the web. There are some guides and books out there. For this reason, I am not posting about the general method of building a plywood boat but I do want to log what I do and record the little tricks I am learning......along with my mistakes so people don't repeat them!
