Chris,
Rightly or wrongly I assumed that the writer was a neophyte with strip technology and took the safe course of suggesting it wasn't the way to go. Despite what I said I never considered it impossible but a project requiring expertice a first timer wouldn't have.
If the writer had said he had a couple of boats under his belt I would have held my tongue.
From the comments I got I think I would have been wise to hold my tongue.

: Charlie,

: I don't really get where you're going here. It's not only possible to do a
: hard chine hull in strip; it's quite easy. If the stations are chined,
: just strip to the form and don't lean on the ROS when you get to that part
: of the design.

: I've been building all sorts of hard edged spray rails, design features and
: scultptural effects into my boats and hard edges are just another part of
: the potential.

: If I'm way off base on this, please get back to me and clarify your meaning.
: When I read stuff in the morning, it sometimes means something else in the
: afternoon.
