Hi John, My brother and I built two Chesapeake 17's at the same time--definitely a time saver. We stacked all the panels and did cutting and fairing of 4 panels at the same time.

You could build side-by-side strippers (even different designs) pretty easily, especially since you'd have 4 hands for cutting strips, aligning forms, holding those "tricky" strips, and glassing.

I'd definitely take you up on your offer if I didn't live 1200 miles north! I've got a 14' x 20' garage, but it's uninsulated and the wife thinks it's for winter-time vehicle storage. Silly woman--I love her!

I'll probably do all the stripping and fairing here, and then haul it to work and glass it in the heated shop some weekend.

Shawn
