    If you use fasteners gluing is a moot point. You may want to do it, but is not necessary; particularly if you fiberglass the hull. You guys are really complicating one of the simplest boatbuilding methods.

    - yup!


    Good points, all of them. I am sort of an experimental builder, I guess, in that I like to try out new (to me) ideas. So I should admit a few things, like my glass-free and epoxy-minimal boats are dry moored for example, and I am not sure I want to do another ribbed boat unless I can speed up the process. Different strokes . . .
