The Eureka Canoe is a fabulous way of starting into boatbuilding, with simple construction and no fiddling with rigging and rudders. At the beginning there seems to be so much to learn and so much information just doesn't make any sense that a first time builder doesn' t know quite where to go for advice. After you have mastered the stitch and tape method of construction used in the Eureka,if you feel need to learn a bit more about other boat building techniques, the PDRacer exists to teach you everything! The construction methods employed in the building of the Oz PDRacer are identical to those employed in larger boats such as the Storer Rowboat or the Goat island Skiff, but at half the length, the amount of work is significantly less. Even if you don't want to build a smaller boat, the plan set contains almost a hundred pages of illustrated instructions on how to complete each task, and as a primer for the bigger boat, is well worth the $20.00 cost. Plans are available from all the above agents. More information can be found at PDRacer.info
Michael has to be just about the most accessible small boat designer in the world today, if you don't come across him on one of the many internet forums to which he contributes, you can probably find the answers on his websites. storerboatplans.com
