: almost too easy way back when, and ever since have believed it's
: almost silly to use plywood when strips are so simple and look
: so much nicer (disclaimer: I said "almost" twice,
: absolving me of any crime). In any case, anyone who doubts his
: or her ability to deal with strip-building should be encouraged
: to try a hybrid. Stripping decks is WAY easier than stripping
: whole boats.
