: Thanks for that post Roger. I've had my eye on building a clinker sailboat

: it.

The Ellen has caught my attention too. I've also been thinking of building a 16" Melonseed Skiff. It can be built strip or glued lapstrake. There are many good boat designs out now that are being adapted to glued lapstrake and all for the benefit of us.
