: If you're serious about keeping weight down it is best to minimise
: epoxy and avoid glass altogether IMHO. That is easier to do on a
: plywood boat than with a stripper.

: Rose Lee is slowly nearing completion after a year long delay.
: While she is about 50% stripped (ply bottom and sheerstrakes)
: she will not be glassed: I built her with laminated ribs to
: provide the cross-grain strength that a stripper normally gets
: from glass and epoxy. The scuppered gunnels add needed stifness.

: I expect her to weigh less than 20#

Interesting approach - have you built in this manner before? I'd expect seam breakdown, without the glass, on a stripper, over time. (Lot's of disclaimers in that one, eh?)
