Stitch and glue guideboat project this is my latest boatbuilding project. it is a stitch and glue adirondack guideboat and the plan was from john gardiner. stitch means the panels are held together with wires that are spaced every 12" or so. then thickened epoxy is put in between the stitches to tack the boat seams together...

John gardiner stitch & glue guideboat . john gardiner's 16' stitch and glue guideboat. location unknown; the only stitch and glue boat plans that i am aware of.
John gave me permission to use his book as a guide to design a s&g version of a guideboat. his book is based on the guideboat, built by dwight grant of booneville, ny starting in 1905. this model was later named the "virginia". anyway... i'm about midway through drawing the guideboat on my computer and will use it to create a stitch and glue. Hello again, i've come down to wanting to either build a mcinnis bateau, or some version of an adirondack guide boat. the thing is, i don't have a good winter workshop, and when i corresponded with john michne, about 8 years ago (before i built my annapolis wherry) he said that it took him over a year to build his virginia copy--and he was retired!. However, you would have to laminate the ribs and seal all parts so you should end up using about the same. building the guide boat the traditional way is a real challange. the planks were about 3 inches wide and individually fit to provide a water tight joint without glue or caulking. they were nailed to the ribs..
