In Response To: Strip: strongback length (J Law)

: Before I go making my strongback, I would like to confirm the
: length required. I will be building the Expedition single, CLC's
: site indicates approx 16'10", I figure from the markings on
: the forms that 17' is the required length. Has anyone built this
: particular craft, and what length strongback did you use?
: Also, has anyone built an adjustable length strongback and how did
: that work out?
: Thanks!

: Jason

lesson #1 - get all your answers BEFORE you start cutting wood! Got all my forms already cut out, the pieces cut to make an internal strongback, edges rabbeted and all.... wonder if I can modify what I've got so far to do an external.... since I am planning on building a couple more, external sounds like the way to go.
