Since no-one came up with a bibliogaphy for a book on LARGE strip built boats I decided to answer my own query. Found nothing on sailboats but did find a volume called "How to Build the Ocean Pointer", "a strip-built 19'6" outboard skiff", by David Stimson. 96pp.,softcover, US$17.95, from the Woodenboat Store.
There's nothing like having a few of the essentials like scantling sizes and lamination scheduals before the top of the epoxy can is unscrewed.

: Just a thought.
