In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: Yostwerks Nikumi (FrankP)

Just finished one up of my own design using plwood frames and WRC stringers. Yost style as most refer to it but I have found a few old plans using the same basic idea. Anyway, I read up on lashing and liked what I read. So I just lashed the stringers to the frames with artificial sinew and no glue. Well there is some glue at the stern and bow. I just couldn't find a great way to lash these together so I used 5 minute epoxy there.

I should launch it this week so it is not proven yet, but lashing is proven and I am confident it will work just fine.
