: It seems to me that you are taking away a fundamental S&G benefit namely the
: tension created by the plywood when stitching the panels together. Working
: with foam will result in little to no tension so shaping the boat will
: require much more care than when you were using plywood.

A mold for building with foam, whether strips or sheets, needs to have many more stations because the foam does not have the stiffness to bridge long gaps.
