Ooooh-kay, strip, stitch AND glue. It was the 'at' @ that threw me a bit, as opposed to SS&G. Thanks for the clarification fellas. Sounds like a good method. More information to be stored in the dark recesses of the mind, for future use
Sure is looking good Ron.

Are the two North winds turning out like you thought they would?

I think this will be my nicest looking boat. If you havent noticed this is a strip stitch and glue. But it has no filets
, I figured with a twelve panel hull it would look like a bengal tiger with all those filets.
What I did was to take a block plane and flush fit the joints and then glue them just like a striper . it seems to have turned out pretty well.
