This old canoe...

Curious about Wooden Canoes
Hello everyone, picked up this old/medium old canoe. Need help identifying it a bit more than what I know; which is this, it's at least 35 y/o, very probably build in Qc., and the rest is on the pictures. No trademarks/stickers visible, the thwarts are flat-bottomed, as got a mast pit/holder for sailing, flat bottom/keel, a slight tumblehome, and that's about it.

Any good web sites and books that I should consult??

Peterborough or Chestnut, after 1930s with a shoe keel. The sailing thwart was put in after as part of a kit, in most boats. Probably a low end Champlain, nice paddling boat.
 
So here are a few additional measurements DECKS: hearts-shaped concave 12" X 5". THWARTS - center: (At the inwale) 2 3/16" X 9/16" rectangle/ middle: 2" X 13/16" (half-round). RIBS : tapered 2 1/4" X7/16", tapering to 1 1/4" X5/16". PLANKS: 3" X 5/32". STEM is a square 13/16".
