In Response To: strip built deck on S & G hull (todd)

: Looking to put a strip built deck on S & G hull. Have no idea how this
: might be acomplished in a reasonable fashion without fabrication forms.
: Any ideas? Thanks, Todd

I thought about doing that on a Ch 17' S&G, but didn't want to put in the time...I wasn't going to use deckbeams every ft., but every two feet or so, since a cambered deck shouldn't require difficult bends or twists like the hull would, but I don't know if that would work...the CLC plans require you to make your own deckbeams, so the form is already available; also there is a sheer strip that would support the ends of the strip.

I think Newfound Boatworks is selling hybrid kits...maybe their website can provide more ideas. I know it can be done, as the CLC customer's pictures show one boat done that way.

Good Luck ...it should look really nice.
