Hi everyone. I've built a bunch of fuselage kayaks, but I'm doing my first canoe as an SOF bent rib. I'm bending ribs now (which I am finding steam bending is my new favorite things), and I'm starting to think about lashing. With 18 ribs, 8 stringers and the keel that equals 162 individual lashings, which is a little daunting. Not impossible though.

Morris recommends longitudinal lashing, which seems far less time consuming. He says that it is very durable, but I'm a little skeptical. Which do you recommend. If you do longitudinal do you wrap once or twice at each junction?

Thanks! pics are below of the build.
