Yesterday I launched a new canoe. Being primarily a kayaker, this one will take some getting used to. It was taken from the Morris book "Building Sink-on-Frame Boats" and is called the "Upper Yukon River Canoe".

I don't know why you'd need a book for that. I'd think that almost any idiot could build a boat that sinks.
