I am about to start my first boat after being totally fed up with plastic for a while. Me being me I have decided to build my own design. While I like the stitch and glue for its speed of construction, I love the look of strip-built. So I have decided to stitch and glue the chined hull and strip build the deck. The idea is that I may be getting financially devastated by the taxman soon, and since I am going to be shortly moving to contracts in areas unknown I can take a week or so to rough the hull and the strips then carry everything with me to finish wherever I end up without spending a ton of money. I have another month and a half here, so I can get my equipment ready and at least get started. Anyone have any comments about my little project? All thoughts are welcome, good, bad or indifferent.
