Inspired useless idea #3437

For ppl who want a wood boat but cannot give up synthetic resins.
Make a hull from "oriented wood strands" held together with polyester
resin. Not only could it rot, it'd get blisters too.


Naaa! Properly done cold molded boats are the lightest and strongest in
existence. And cold molding is so far away from rocket science that
anyone with even moderate intelligence could do it right accidently.

(I first raced as crew on a boat as you describe. Was a rocket.)
