Hi Mike,

Actually I was joking, a number of years ago I built a 26' sharpie (long skinny shallow sailboat), was plywood planked and I pre-scarfed the panels for that boat ending up with slightly longer than 26' panels a little under 4' wide and 1/2" thick. Used straps with overhead come-alongs to winch those into place, relatively easy. Still an awful lot like picking up a piece of wet spagetti :)
