Looking on the web, apparently, these days, plywood mostly is a semi-mass produced product produced in individual sheets. That seems to be...
Yep, it probably is a question for a plywood manufacturer, but since I a not actually buying I was kind of hoping someone here might have some...
Funny thing about the sea, it destroys everything it touches. Everything needs maintenance even displays in a museum. Even those GRP boats....
Somewhere there is a write up about the Friendship Sloop in carvel and clinker. Apparently, in very light airs the carvel was faster, in all other...
I see so much stuff reported as fact that seems is not true. An article I was just reading on the web said, "Carvel came first about 1000BCE..."...
I am wondering what quantity of marine plywood one would have to order to get diagonal layed 24-foot, or longer, sheets of some kind of super...
Actually, it is reported that MFG, the company that did the original Corvette bodies, built a copy of the Lymans using inside/outside double...
Well, I admit to getting tired of the ******** and jumping to the end of this, so if someone else made my points here previously, I apologize....

All sea skiffs, as far as I know, are semi-displacement, or rather semi-planing boats, but 30-35mph is entirely possible (because the boats...
Well, it seems that the Atkin's tunnel hulls fascinate folk on BD, and I can see why, a few of them fascinate me. I now think the Design forum was...
Get a new association! If they allow PWC's when they should only be allowing fishing boats, they are insane. What is really needed is a 5-mph...
Lapstrake power boats are still popular with people who are into wood boats. However, I see that Par answered my question in the ill fated...
From the photos someone had made a lot of changes on that boat. Ruins any collectors value. Most likely problems: Rotted garboard strakes (next...
I have been wondering if Glued Lap with laminated ribs might be viable for boats in the 20-30 foot range with modern high powered engines. The...
I really like the water cooled machine gun on the cabin top. All the metal saving features indicate it was designed during WWII. Wonder where...
