Any one got suggestions on which book(s) I should get to assist me in building it ?

I think that probably the best book onb uilding glued-lap clinker boats is that produced by Iain Oughtred. It is very thorough. The Gougeon Brothers [a.k.a. the Glues Brothers] have produced a book on building with epoxy resin, but it assumes that you are building simple sheet plywood construction like a sharpie or an Optimist pram dinghy, not clinker. Has Arch Davis produced a book of instructions for the pla ns? It is usual to do so.
