    But, regrettably these do not include wood constructions.

    Correct PAR, but is that not the case with every set of rules of a Class Society? It's never an optimum of weight and strength, there's always a safety factor!
    But it still is a good guidenance for novice designing his wooden boat and the more experienced designer knows where he can cut corners.

    I thought this was an interesting question so I searched some Norwegian pages.
    Here is one set of practical rules from Jeppe Jul Nielsen:

    (try to read this Peter :)

    I attach an xls showing the rules for skin thickness.

    :idea: The meter to feet conversion wasn't quite right in my xls, 5m ~ 16 feet 5 inches (?)
