Did you ever start your Pax20 stripper? I still want to do a hybrid (S&G hull/strip deck) but I've seen some rather bad press on the worth of this design. Most seems to be centered on rougher water paddling which I don't intend to do. I was wondering if the stern shape could be altered enough to minimize the stern lift mentioned in these posts?

: Well I just got to try it. Pax 20 out of strips. Here's the plan.....build
: bottom and side panels flat on the table using 3/16 inch strips, glass
: pannels with 4 oz glass; cut according to plan; stich glue the hull; strip
: out deck as I have done before, with bows laminated to proper radius and
: secured to hull.....should be interesting? Comments invited....
