Build a 17 foot strip deck using only four forms?!? Did I read that right? I didn't feel comfortable stripping with the forms 20 inches apart. That's why I decided to use the Guillemot offsets. They are 12 inches apart.
The shear on the hull sweeps up considerably at the bow and stern and even the deck on this boat has compound curves (and I was planning on a nice design).
The idea of a canvas deck does sound interesting tho. Perhaps on the next one tho. My heart is set on sweeping curves of cedar covered in varnish :)
Thakns for the input!
