: Here's a pic of my nearly completed Sea Bee stripper (13' X
: 24"). It still has to be varnished
: after the last coat of epoxy cures in a few days.

: All strips are redwood, the coaming is plywood, and the rubrail
: doug fir.
: All stripping was done using RAKA epoxy (no titebond). Strips are
: 3/16", but laminated with epoxy
: in two layers with the second layer overlapping the first at the
: glue joint. This creats a very rigid
: 3/8" hull / deck. Why you ask ? ... It's because this boat
: uses no fiberglass.

: I had it out on the pond next to my house yesterday, but much real
: on water testing remains after the varnish dries.

: http://www.yostwerks.com/SBB.jpg - Double strip construction
: technique. If I wasn't stripping it this way,
: I likely wouldn't be building it at all. It's always entertaining
: to try something new.

: http://www.yostwerks.com/SBRB.jpg - Who says redwood doesn't have
: lots of color variation.
: My old redwood LM 2 - 14886 is in the shop for varnish, a new rub
: rail, and some proper "toggle" deck rigging.

: I'll post strip offsets shortly (12" centers).

: Cheers, Tom

Brilliant! I really enjoy stripping out a kayak, and generally come up with some 'new and improved' (to me, anyway) technique each boat that improves ease of construction, function and /or appearance. The free exchange on this forum, of course, increases that exchange markedly (and you, and a few others, are leading the charge). Nice, 'outside the box' thinking. I like it.
