Hello Rehd, I've built one, S&G Pygmy. Inside joints were joined with butt blocks of plywood. Butt joints were filled and faired with wood flour/resin and reinforced a foot on either side of joint with glass cloth, followed by entire glassing of inside of hull. Outside butt joints need no reinforcement other than final glassing of hull. Result, strong joints, no flat spots. John
