Ooooh-kay, strip, stitch AND glue. It was the 'at' @ that threw me a bit, as opposed to SS&G. Thanks for the clarification fellas. Sounds like a good method. More information to be stored in the dark recesses of the mind, for future use
Sure is looking good Ron.

I think this will be my nicest looking boat. If you havent noticed this is a strip stitch and glue. But it has no filets :D :D , I figured with a twelve panel hull it would look like a bengal tiger with all those filets.
What I did was to take a block plane and flush fit the joints and then glue them just like a striper . it seems to have turned out pretty well.
