A Classic Guide to Building Punts and Canoes - Including Construction Your Own Canvas Canoes and Building a Sailing Boat - Anon
Building Punts and Canoes
THE first example described in this chapter is a flat-bottomed boat or canoe suitable for a pond or smooth-water river. The chief points in view are cheapness but safety, the work requiring ordinary skill, and necessitating the use of only a few woodworking tools.

The rebate line is 1 1/2 in. from the ends of both the stem post and stern post.
