Unfortunately your crossposting has not brought us any fresh
expertise from among the boat-builders or the New Zealanders.

Then FFS cut the cross-posting and leave us alone here in boat-building land.

Here's a clue (from New Zealand, no less...):

Yup. Down here in the Southern Pacific we don't know a lot about boat
building. Well apart from building boats that won the Americas Cup
twice and losing it to a Swiss team of New Zealanders.
Having a multibillion dollar small shipbuilding industry.
And as for sailing: well apart from the "Royal Akarana" and other
sailing races and having an Offshore Masters certificate from my
commercial fishing days I'm totally ignorant of ships :-)
Oh and I better tell you that helping build a Mullet taught me nothing
about boatbuilding !
Sheesh
