| Windward 15 New to this forum....building a Karl Stambaugh Windward 15 and have 2 questions, please. Should I fasten the hull to the frames completely or should I use minimal fastenings and let the hull "flex" on the frames? Where can I obtain a small quantity of Dynel fabric for use on the deck of this boat? Thanks in advance, Mark Charleston, SC  |

| Karl Stambaugh's designs are what he calls "glue and screw" and shouldn't be confused with stitch and glue methods. His work typically relies on solid fastening of the planking to the frames with some glue for good measure. You don't want the planking moving around on the frames at all. If not sure about fastener types or spacing, give him a call. A search on the web for Dynel will yield many hits, where you can then find a supplier in your area. Fiberglas supply stores should be able to get some if it's not in stock. |
