: Btw, if you're looking for ultimate light weight with a stripper, shop for
: the wood carefully, the outer light colored WRC is often considerably
: lighter weight than the darker colored wood, sometimes by nearly 1/2.

: Personally if you want really light, you might think about the project I'm
: working on now, building it partial SOF partial strip boat. A light frame
: with the chine area stripped to give the round bottom shape and using a
: light skin for covering can give you a very light boat that's pretty
: strong. There is a limit to how light you can make the stripper and keep
: it strong, but doing it over a light frame combines the strengths of a SOF
: with shape of the stripper. Specially works well with my dual covering
: method, covered first with light aircraft heat shrink dacron then cover
: that with light glass. Done carefully you can have a very strong cover
: that's around 10 or 11 ounces per yard, difficult to achieve this with any
: other method.

Bill, i think that is an outstanding idea.
