: hi,
: has anyone ever tried to use marine plywood for ribs ( 30mm on 6mm or
: something like that ), when soaked a while
: it bends very well,
: I just do not know how strong it is ?!

The previous posts were for a Yost style SOF, using plywood frames. I think you're talking about traditional SOF with bent ribs. If you're gonna build it traditionally I'd think I'd use traditional materials. I want to do this if I ever get done with the boats I've already got underway :)
