Niven,

I tried to go to 1/4" ply to reduce weight. The #3 frame buckled at the top when bending the gunnel around the frames. I had to reinforce it to keep it straight.

: if you really want to use screws then adding a small strip
: outlining the profile of the hull section of the frame gets
: around screwing into plywood edge. And of course you can use
: lighter ply for the frame to conmensate for the extra wood. We
: only use the thickness of ply because we want to attach
: something to the edge. In effect what we want is a something to
: attach the longitudinal pieces to and keep them a certain
: distance apart
