: My mistake. In the photos, it looked like the plywood had a thick center core
: with thin veneers on the outside. What thickness is he working with? FWIW,
: CLC recommends 3mm ply for most of their "tortured" hulls.

As I recall it is 3mm, and I was surprised at how thick the core was relative to the faces. But, I think he'll get it bent properly soon. The author mentions that there may be some cracking and creaking when the boat is drawn together.

I'll probably be building the same boat this summer, so I've been paying attention to Peter's problems. I figure that if I learn from his problems, when I go to build my boat I'll look like a genius. :)
