The canoe looks a lot better already, Earthpeace. Did you use boiled or raw linseed? The raw takes a lot longer to dry. Was the hole caused by rot? I'll Email the Chasse Maree tomorrow, that's the contact given to me by the naval architect and see if they know anything more about the builder.
I should think it will be a pleasure to paddle this canoe.
