The boat was layed out on plywood using a 10 inch by 10 inch Square Grid.
Construction Images:
Hull Bottom, 1/4 inch Marine Grade Plywood.
Butt Joint is made of West System Epoxy and Fiberglass Tape 6 inches wide @ 18oz/sy total - Outer Hull 6 oz/sy, Inner Hull 12oz/sy.
I tested the strength of this joint. The plywood breaks before the joint.
Close-up view of the the Tape Joint and Plastic Ties. Epoxy Fillet and Fiberglass Tape have not yet been applied to the Hull Topsides/ Hull Bottom Joint.
Bow Section of Boat. Deck and Bulkhead have not been installed as of yet.
Outside of Hull showing Plastic Ties. This method of construction required no Strongback or Frames.
Bow section was nearly a perfect match.after beveling.
