    So are submarines(:->)
    Seriously, I have a canoe & would love to know if anyone has tricks
to keep them watertight. This spring I sanded & repainted my wood &
canvass canoe using a tinted plastic varnish. The job looked great but
only lasted a couple of days in the water. Now I get wet again.
OK...OK...OK so there is a little chip out of one spot but this is 
inevitable. Do I need a new canvas?  What do you look for to tell
for sure?
    Someday I'll own a 65 foot schooner.  No, I don't mean the beer!
