: Thank you Tom, thank you very much.
: What do you think about building one of your multichine, using wood
: for the gunwales (for the keel too as I suppose it also must be
: stiff) and pvc tubes for the 6 stringers?
: The pvc tubes would be not stiff as aluminum or wood, but should be
: stiffer that a flexy inflatable. Plus, pvc tubes can be very
: easily sleeve jointed and are far cheaper than aluminum. I could
: even snap them this way

: So the assembly process wouldn't be totally a beast: hinges and
: pins will be needed to joint the wooden gunwales, keel, bow and
: stern. The rest of the boat would be easier to assemble.

: What do you think about?

...IMHO your sea tour exp 15 would be the best because there is 5 sections only.
