This method is used for many other boats as a visit to many harbors along the Maine coast would confirm. Stitch and glue canoes or boats are built using plywood. The plywood is cut using a pattern. The pieces are tied together with plastic ties and epoxied together. The ties are cut after the inside is epoxied and the outside is fiberglassed.
Epoxy resin is used throughout.
This method is fairly rapid and is used for canoes, kayaks and other small boats. There are many good references available in the libraries. The MCA paddlesport show in Minnesota and the Wooden Canoe Festival in Millinocket, Maine are excellent shows where you can see canoes and even practice skills needed for building.
