    Unique design for very’ rugged, quickly-built boat that retains canoe maneuverability and light weight By WM. D. JACKSON Navel Architect a heavy, slow-moving rowboat—and_ then paddled a swift, high maneuverable canoe— you can appreciate why’ many true sportsmen Prefer canoes. But, too often, the multicribbed conventional eanoe is not only hard to build but too thin-skinned for hard usage. ‘This design teams up plywood and fiber glass to produce a tough, serape-proof canoe you can build in one-tenth the time it would take you to ‘turn out a conventional cance. ‘The use of only one frame offsets the extra weight of using ply ‘wood, so that this canoe is still light enough for comfortable portage, Glide-Basy can be built with-a square stern for use with an outhoard motor (Fig. 1), or as a double-cnder (ig. 2) for paddling. Start-construction by making a full-size draw- ing, on heavy paper of the plenking pattern (Wig. 5) that will cover-one-quarter of the hull. Use 'a Hx Mein, batten about 8 ft, long to draw the curved sheer Iine and bow lines tangent with the 12 in. radius, Cut out the pattern and place it ona 4 by 8 ft sheet of Yin. plywood as in Fig. 5. A leeel centerline drawn on the plywood will help to locate the:pattern, Draw around the patiern to lay out one side, then flip it over and Jay out the other side.
