:I noticed a passage where he (Nick)
: explained that he had trouble with Redwood delaminating over the
: long haul.

Kaspar ,

My last seven strippers were made entirely of redwood with Titebond gluing the strips
and West Systems epoxy for glassing. I assume Nick's reference to delamination
refers to glass delamination, and not glue joints ? On my redwood boats, there has been no
delamination of the fiberglass, and no breaks in the glue joints.

Redwood , due to it's resins, can delaminate with polyester resin / fiberglass, and did just that
on my first stripper attempt (1972).

It seems that Nick could easily clear this up with one simple post.
