Default Iain Oughtred's Ness Yawl - professional builders?

Your answer assumes the construction is better. It isn't and it would
not be less money, so the question still begs your rational. Steve

Why would anyone pay to have a plywood clinker/lapstrake boat built
rather than a traditionally built, solid wood, lapstrake/clinker boat
?

Caeteris paribus - why not. If it costs the same, looks the same,
weights the same and sails the same - count me in.

OK, rephrasing my answer for better communication:

Because nobody offered me anything equal or better in all respects I
mentioned.

Making it even smpler: are you (or anybody you know is) ready to built
for me "a traditionally built, solid wood, lapstrake/clinker boat" better
or equal to Ness Yawl for the equivalent of 9000 EUR, not further than
2000 km from Corfu island? If so - let's discuss the deal.

Cheers,

Peter
