Glued Lapstrake Scantlings

[Bruce46]

I've been going through all my books and I can't find scantlings for glued lapstrake construction. Specifically I looking to eliminate conventional frames by gluing all internal structure to hull and adding necessary framing under floors and centerboard trunk.

Check out Iain Oughtred's designs and scale accordingly. Also Sam Devlin.

Each lap is the equivalent to a stringer. Use that in the scantlings calculations.

Lapstrake-built boats can have 15% thinner shell than carvel-built, according to an old swedish regulation for powerboats.
