Mike,
I don't think Iain Oughtred had that approach in mind when he wrote, "Clinker Plywood Boatbuilding".
I'll pass on, "lapstrake stripping".
Charlie

: while traditionally true, i can see no big reason why stripping could not be
: a subsection of lapstrake.
: for example, if the forms had just straight lines on them for every 'plank'
: location, you could strip up each plank and use cheaters/fillers like we
: do at the ends but in the middle of each plank, say a couple per or just
: use our typical football stripping inside each 'plank' (ie strip inward
: from the outside edges of ea plank)or probably best, just strip in from
: the bottom edge overhanging the higher(closer to shear) proper plank edge,
: then use a batten to roughly cut off to the line, clean up w/ fairing
: board or later w/ an interior edge type plane or sander.

: Still use a majority of 3/4" x 1/4" approx typical strips.
: roughsand a surface/land on the last strip of each 'plank' overlap it and
: keep going on the next plank. maybe play games w/ light stripplanks
: alternating w/ dark stripplanks.

: would be real easy to accomplish. tough to glass the laps though.so make them
: angled or small offset and cut edge.
: any one of us could give the effect of doing it now by the alternating colour
: method even flush on rounded forms.
