Maiden Launch of Ripple II the Plywood Canoe

My original Ripple canoe was built from planks, ripped from red cedar 2x4s. But could I build one from just 4mm marine plywood? How about using just 2 sheets? Over the summer I did just that. Ripple II is built over the same frames as the original. One inch wide strips of plywood are then scarf-joined, and bent around the forms, to create the sides. The bottom is just 1 sheet of plywood. Both the exterior and the interior are covered in 6 ounce fiberglass. The result is a shapely, lightweight, stable, and well-performing canoe that will turn heads--in a good way. My winter project will be to write a detailed book on how to build Ripple II --the Plywood Canoe. My original book, "Making a Ripple--the 2x4 Canoe" describes the planked method. https://www.amazon.com/Making-Ripple-...
