The best place is the wonderful Duckworksmagazine. So do also write to Chuck Leinweber at duckworksmagazine.com - his email address is on the Duckworks site.Gav Dustin:

Congratulations Dustin!

Send me some photos and something about the story of how you built the boat, and we’ll see what we can do.

I'm fifteen but love to work with my hands and love canoes so the other day i decided to make one. I didnt know about this site at the time so i didnt build it to specs. but it is a very sturdy little craft. It is more of a flatboat and if anyone can tell me how to post pics on here i would be much obliged. Hey i was just wanting to let everyone know that ive taken the challenge.

Absolutely – please do keep us posted! I’d very much like to see this project going together.

And I’m delighted you liked the Ultrasimple Boatbuilding book. The Cinderella canoe is a great little boat and deserves to be built much more often.

I think the total cost was fifty bucks or so. I say real because it might have been part polyester - it's hard to tell these days. Anyway, the little boats are huge fun. We had them at Lake Powell last fall paddling in and out of deep red-rock canyons - fantastic! - Chuck Hey, Gav. if links work here, you can see some my own SOF work here: http://www.duckworksmagazine.com/03/r/projects/sof2/update1.htm – we used “real” canvas on this boat.
