Fred Reckard's canoes - fiberglass, canvas, or both?

[The Canoe Kid]

Did Maine boat builder Fred Reckard fiberglass or canvas his canoes?

Thanks,

Jerry Stelmock wrote about Fred Reckards in issue 3 of Wooden Canoe. Only fiberglass is mentioned.

OK. Thanks.

That's what I had heard. I appreciate the confirmation.

In his Building the Maine Guide Canoe, Jerry Stelmok says that Fred Reckards covered "most" of his canoes with fiberglass, leaving a large percentage of those clear.
