When I am at a show and trying to explain the method and how the boat is built I tell them that is basically a fiberglass boat with a visible wood core. Seem to relieve their anxiety about the boat not being strong enough and then they seem to understand. Not sure how that helps this conversation much but after years of trying to explain the method, this seems to be the easiest for the uninformed to understand.
