In Response To: Other: S&G or Strip? (Jeff Schaber)

Why not do a hybrid? S&G hull with a strip deck. CLC definitely sells hybrid shearwater kits, or you could just go with plans if you really wanted to do so. I personally think they are the best of both worlds, ease and speed of S&G building with the beauty of strippers.

I ripped the deck of my S&G and am about to get back to redecking it with a strip deck. (Took summer off to paddle and build other projects.)

Just about any S&G kit can be built as a stripper, or similarly nearly any strip design could be (less easily) modified to do a S&G hull with a strip deck.
