Default building a wooden boat from a fiberglass design

The H-28 (if it's the Herreshoff one) was originally designed for wood
construction and those drawings are available. A new wooden boat, built
by someone who knows how (and there are several of them in Maine) does not
absorb much more care than fiberglass adn is much more rewarding!

No, the boat we sail is an HR28, designed and built by George
Hinterhoeller in Canada. I'm feeling you about the wood though...
