Thanks to all for the video and interview! Very impressive builder. Very intelligent, careful, thoughtful, resourceful. He even built his own computer controlled routing table to cut the parts. Modelled the boat twice before starting the actual build. His build is very nicely done, and the results look very good. That planning and preparation seems to have relatively sped up his process too.

I had a sort of plywood boat 25 years ago in Italy. Sort of because it was built on a plug by epoxying 1mm thick by 4 or 5 inch wide strips of wood over in a criss cross pattern. The end result was a type of plywood but in the compound curved shape of a fin keel fiberglass boat. Little to no internal frames as well.

Its a huge Wood cat. A lot of power boats used ply ...and pressure moulded the sheets. Its very tough built correctly... Its a renewable resource and repairable...so thats good it also lends itself to one off or batch production...even mass production .. Im thinking in particular of James Wharram's designs it allows experimentation. With modern robot cutting methods and CAD it can be used to produce precisely cut interlocking parts. I can think of two other highly successful uses of plywood ..The mosquito fighter bombers of ww2 which only suffered in the tropics because they lacked Epoxy resins and the 1984 Africar project that used a resin impregnated plywood monocoque body tub ..for a host of reasons and to improve function in Environments from the polar circle to the Equator. At no point did the vehicles body work fail or suffer any damage despite the extreme terrains. They actually showed that you could hit it with a lump hammer and it wouldn't break or significantly dent. It also insulates and has no significant resonate frequency.

@@RiggingDoctor The biggest Wharrams are 55-65ft theres one channel ive seen the guy is living in and sailing the sea of japan. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4qlha2PqdCkrJI They all share the same idependent hulls and independent articulation beam mounted deck ... a bit like a 4wheel drive with long travel suspension and rigid Axel articulation.😁😉😂. I've a question for you if you dont mind why dont more modern boats use hulls with turned up...raised bows like many early sea going sailing vessels .. and rising displacement chines on the hulls ? Theres a cat being adapted to two electric sail drives ... I think it might be ply or ply with glass hulls? kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqKZdqR3i7hnq6c What is interesting is structural layout its like an evolution of the Wharram's. Theres also a Hybrid diesel electric monohull with some outstanding fuel saving performance figures at the end .
