Canoe Building - cedar strip?

I'll be building a 32' cedar strip canoe in october....but am wondering if any of the builders here have made a cedar strip canoe and have had problems with bubbling in the fiberglass over time. So my question is...."can you fiberglass just one side to help mitigate the expansion of the wood without compromising the structural integrity and connection between the wood and fiberglass/epoxy?"

I've done a "tape and seam" method and there seems to be no issues...but marine grade plywood seems a lot more stable than red and white cedar.

Any help would greatly be appreciative.

Hey Pacific Northwest Hurricane Owner! Sell me your boat!

Item Description: 

Don't you think it's time to trade up to the new _______________________ (insert name of a fast boat you've been thinking about buying here).

I'm looking for a used Hurricane. I'm in Vancouver for the next couple days with an empty, lonely, roof rack. I'd be willing to drive down into the states if I had to to find a boat.

Thanks,

Ama for 6-man Needed (paddles too!)

Item Description: 

Hi,
I am starting a club in Humboldt Bay and need an ama and paddles. A gentleman from Monterey just donated a boat (Awesome huh?) but we need a few things to get it going. Specifically an ama and at least 4 paddles and a steering blade. If you or your club has a extra sitting around, we would be happy to use them (we can pay a little). Thank you so much for checking the post and spread the word that there will be races in Humboldt Bay come 2012. Aloha!

Pegasus OC-1 for Sale in Portland, Oregon

Item Description: 

Pegasus OC-1 for sale.
The canoe was purchased in 2009 and has been paddled only 4-5 times since this purchase due to change in work schedule.
The canoe is in exceptional condition, like new, not a single mark or ding.
The canoe is all white with a full carbon layup, weighing approximately 22 pounds fully rigged (iakos, ama, seat, and canoe), and measuring around 26' in length.
It also comes with a cover for both the canoe and the ama.
This canoe is a pleasure to paddle and drops in effortlessly in the swells.
It is with a heavy heart that I am selling this canoe, but I no longer need 2 canoes and my current schedule does not allow me to paddle the Pegasus like it deserves.
$3200
Please call or e-mail for pictures or more information.

Repairs in the NW?

My OC1 suffered some damage in the backyard and I just noticed it now. Huge crack in the gelcoat and it's spongy where the crack is. It's a carbon canoe. Does anyone know a good outrigger repair man in the Portland (OR) area?

Thanks for your help.
