 | Building Your Kevlar Canoe : A Foolproof Method
Factory-built Kevlar canoes are light (35 pounds for a 17-Footer), strong (40% stronger than fiberglass canoes that weigh twice as much), fast, and maintenance-free.

The book provides complete plans and building instructions for a stable family canoe, a swift solo canoe, and a wilderness tripper. (Added: 12-Aug-2000 Hits: 1727) | Rate | Visit
