Hello

I am a independent hobby designer and builder so I don't favore any of the companys. Joints, but end joints are easy to make but a bit clumsier. Sharf joints are more flexibel but a bit harder to make.

The more seams the more trubbel. But bending a round deck is absolutly no fun.

The most importent things you have to consider is to make the boat straight and as light as possibel. Don't try to make it extra light just don't put on any extra weight.

I think that the people on both companys are good people and they will do there best to support you.

Hans
