Very cool. Looks like an interesting option for people who want to do a boat like a hybrid Night Heron, but would rather have the hull look stripped.

I think I'd want to see one rightside up and on the water.

: FYI: I thought this was an interesting idea that I hadn't heard of
: before; the strips were built-up into flat planks which were
: assembled using S&G and glassed. It has some limitations on
: shape because it requires a hull shape with developable planks
: but a great looking boat and a very fast build.
