: The one the class built last year is posted on Tom's site, it's
: finished with a black hull and red deck. I use all 3/4" x
: 3/4" material for the decks, works fine for the average
: person. You mostly put your weight on the frame behind the
: cockpit anyway. The reason for twin stringers in the rear deck
: is to hold your weight if you sit on the deck entering or
: getting out of the boat. You're not likely to sit on the
: foredeck :)

: The 1" x 3/4" deck stringers will work fine too, probably
: a good idea if you use cedar, the class boat was done in white
: pine, much stronger than WRC.

Thanks Bill(and John),

I've already ripped my WRC for the boat. Using 1" x 3/4" for all deck stringers.
Now on to the cross sections of 1/2" marine ply. This is a chore!
