    Stich and Glue - Try Sam Devlin

    Try contacting Sam Devlin at Devlin Designing Boatbuilders. He's the one that originally developed the method.

    And as a former employee, I can say with some confidence, a really nice guy

    cheers

    Sam's boats are very nice but he must have been a diaper child prodigy to have developed stitch & glue construction. It's been around for a long time and the modern version most likely came from Europe. The technique has been used by others, like the south sea islanders, for eons.
