sharpie...
Sorry.
In my search for unusual boats I came across this really cool site
http://www.squero.com/index.html
It's the site of an Italian Gondola maker. It includes the history,
the evolution, construction pics, and the techniques of gondola
rowing and best of all, in its "Shop" link, there are plans, kits,
and full boats available.
Interesting to learn that gondolas are sharpies with asymmetric
hulls! There's even a sailing version with a truly odd rig.
This is a trippy, bitchin site! (Uh oh, showing my age and early
influences)
