a lovely example by Colin Wragg.

The Adirondack Guide boats were used in the outback of North America in the 19th and early 20th Centuries for hunting, portaging etc and have a very distinctive shape with fairly pinched bow/stern sections and slack bilge shape. Beam was kept low so that they were often rowed with a cross handed. Construction is shown for both simple stitch and tape and clinker/ply construction.

LOA 15’ (4.7m); Beam 3’4 1/2” (2.85m); Midship hull depth 12” (0.3m); Weight approx 70lbs (32kg).
