Strip/Stand up paddle board. Starting with plans for the Kaholo 14' and precut ribs from Chesapeake Light Craft , I built the hull in plywood and the deck in 1/4" cedar strips up to 4" wide .6 oz glass both sides of deck (inside & out). lowered the deck 1 " and made it concave in the center also added recessed hand hold.Deck is very stiff. Could have eliminated ribs in bow and stern to save weight.
