Plywood Composite Boats
dougies, so sleep it off

Have heard repeatedly from highly experienced, long term naval architects that plywood hulls covered inside/outside and between plywood sheets are stronger pound for pound than most any other material out there. That must explain why all the America's Cup boats are built from plywood. Very few plywood boats out there, though. People think they are wood and therefore won't build they from scratch and won't buy used ones. Yep plywood boats are so rare that they are really a tremendous novelty. I bet that nobody here knows as much about building boats from plywood as *you* do, Jax! DSK |
