One of my major distractions this summer was finding a fiberglass 1974 Klepper sailing canoe. The sticker insides states "Made in West Germany" I just got the bare hull and have taken it out paddling a couple times. Apparently my internet scouring skills developed hunting bike parts is transferable to other venues, so with some drilling, fitting, filing, grinding and gooping this winter I should have a slightly steam punk version of the original. The red hull is mine, and the The rig on the blue hull is a more modern version of the 60's sail kit I'll be fitting to the boat. The major project is mounting a modern aftermarket rudder, as the original is unobtanium and kind of "hinkey" in it execution.
