Hi Kudzu,

Could you not offer both? Instructions for either method, and add the cordage to the kit if requested, e.g. "add $x.xx for enough cordage to complete the kit" - if you were thinking of including it (I assume you wouldn't include the screws?).

Perhaps a paragraph in the instructions on the pros and cons of each, and let the builder decide.

Just me 2 cents...based on my first Yost, a Sea Cruiser, which is screwed and epoxied, which once together seems almost overkill and I'll be lashing the next one.

Regards,
