Strip: questions on building Njord

I'm looking at a new build, and Njord looks pretty appealing. But in reading Bjorns website/building manual, I see he does it a bit differently than I'm used to - External strongback, no gluing until the hull is stripped, and then simply coating with epoxy, before moving on to sanding/fairing the hull. I know a few here have built his boats (Dan, you there?) - do you follow the same lay-up, or have your own technique? It's easier to 'do what I know', but I'd like to do it 'right', and guess I can stand to learn something new.
