| 20090199756 | WOODEN WATERCRAFT HULL CONSTRUCTION - A wooden hull construction for a watercraft, particularly a canoe, includes a multiplicity of boards, each board individually secured to adjacent boards while maintaining parallel alignment. In an aspect of the hull construction wherein there is a single layer of boards, the boards are secured together in parallel alignment along their lateral edges with adhesive. In multiple-layer hull construction aspects, each layer of parallel hull boards is secured to an adjacent layer with board edge seams substantially offset from the board edge seams of the adjacent layer. Individual boards are secured directly to adjacent boards in the same layer or to boards in the adjacent layer, or both. The hull boards are aligned substantially transversely, i.e., gunwale to gunwale, of the watercraft. | 08-13-2009 |
