Trying to imagine the least weight way to reduce twist in a light weight narrow rectangular punt (11'x2'x1') made of thin plywood under construction. The bottom skids and gunwales are on. There are glued and screwed chine battens at the intersection of bottom and sides. Three rectangular building molds are still in. When I torque one end there is too much twist (flexibility) in the hull for my liking. I am thinking bulkheads, frames, partial decks, or some arrangement of stringers. (I opted for the shoebox shape for ease of construction. I know that curves would have been better.) Any suggestions? Are you going to fiberglass it? |
