Southern Paddler is a great resource for info about building boats that are manually powered. Lots of knowledge from a bunch of characters, me being one of them.
If you like boat building, I also invite you to check out the new http://www.amateurboatbuilding.com . Similar format to the Southern Paddler with a main content page that has articles, and then a discussion forum. Open discussion welcome about any type of boat building from any designer. A great place to compare and contrast designs, techniques, materials, etc.
ABB is now run by Tony, a very knowledgable and friendly amateur builder and is not associated with one particular designer or company (like it was previsouly). There is some advertsing, including yours truly, but it's not intrusive or in-your-face. Tony works hard to keep good quality content and the proceeds he receives keep the site running.
So come on by and join in a discussion or start a new one.
