In Response To: It is research time. (Paul G. Jacobson)

Paul,
: the Kulczycki books and the one by McCarthy deal with building with plywood
: -- stitch and glue or lapstrake construction, respectively

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't McCarthy a strip builder? Perhaps you were thinking of Tom Hill's "Lightweight Boat Building?"

It's kind of interesting that all us over-fed guys from the middle latitudes are trying to stuff ourselves into craft developed by native Artic peoples who averaged about 105#.
