If a cedar strip canoe is outside of your time, temperament, and price range, you may find the planked construction method described in this book to be an option well worth considering. The author also now has a plywood strip version of this same design, which may be more appealing for those who find fabricating planks unappealing. The new method is showcased in the new book, Ripple II-the Plywood Canoe. This book, however, still has value for builders who may prefer a planked canoe with a L.O.A. 14'3", beam 36", rocker 2", beam at 2" waterline 30", bow height 16", weight 56-60 pounds. Since a revised method is now available, the price for this version has been reduced. Regardless of the method used, this is a solid choice for a stable, durable, attractive, and economical canoe that can be created for $300-$400 and 40-60 hours
