: Hi Tom
: Interesting build, seems to have caught everyones' eye.
: Would a single skin deck be a possibility to save weight, build
: time etc.
: with some strengthening behind the cockpit.

I doubt that a single thin layer of strips has the rigidity required. You could support the deck with cross sections
in the hull like I've done , but you still have to turn the deck over after stripping on the strongback for sanding
and coating, and it may not be strong enough to be handled much. Two strip layers increase the strength
and rigidity immensely, especially at the peak due to the overlapping of the strips.

Here's a pic of the deck first layer. No attempt was made to use the best strips unlike the top layer to come.
The first layer fits inside of the top hull strip and rests on the sheer clamp. The second later, already laminated to the first layer,
rests atop the sheer and is trimmed after trial fitting and marking of the cut line. That's why it looks jagged along the edge in the link below.
