: I agree to the 14' 11" length, definitely go with 3/16"
: strips, and I too am building from the book with my own offsets.
: I didn't even cut the recessed forms beforehand, for the reason
: that they weren't listed. I also didn't cut the taper the
: strongback on the the ends, just fastened the third forms in
: from the ends to the end of the beam.

: I may be doing it all wrong, and it's not without some issues, but
: I'm having a great time! I'm even exploring lashing the strips
: on with monofilament line, and running two courses of strips at
: a time! You can see some details on my blog:
: http://www.driftingson.com A big new update will be coming soon,
: with about half the hull stripped, including a report on the how
: the use of the lashing technique is working.

Hoping that this is just and example and the strips fit together better than what's shown?
