wherry query OT

It looks like the next project is a strip--built version of Gardner's Lincolnville salmon wherry in *Building Classic Small Craft.* I know others on this board have attempted similar projects. Any comments, warnings, etc. would be greatly appreciated. My one particular concern is how many if any ribs I need to keep the sides from collapsing inward. My initial thought is to install ribs as in the original after both interior and exterior glass are applied but to attach them with glass and resin rather than screws or nails. Thanks, Tom
