: No offence to Bjorn as I fully respect his designs, but in my
: opinion, this shape of boat is better suited to ply stitch and
: glue. It is a lot easier to make a flat deck and hard chines
: with ply than thin strips and fillers.

I agree completely. It would be a perfect design for S&G. He DOES have a S&G version (sortof). Petrus Kayak in Sweden has classed where they build plywood BP's. I've also heard of other builders who have adopted the design to ply. If/when I build another painted BP I think I might go that route.
