STRIPPER is a ribless canoe made from narrow wood strips,
covered with fiberglass inside and out. The composite
construction produces high strength with low weight while
displaying the natural beauty of the wood.
This is the type of craft that brings out the ooh's and
aah's from observers. Natural wood provides a warmth and a
richness to the sleek lines of the canoe. Yes, these craft are
labor intensive, but the building method requires more patience
than skill. The material required for building is relatively
inexpensive in comparison to the worth of the finished
craft.
The STRIPPER can be built 16' or 17' long. Both sizes
are detailed in the plans and instructions. Full size patterns
are provided for all forms and watertight bulkheads. All aspects
of construction are detailed, from the simple building jig
through the planking process. Instructions supplement the plans
with step-by-step descriptions and a Bill of Materials.
