In Response To: S&G: Why is there no info. on tortured plywood boats? (Paul Pinder)

If we are talking about the same thing, that type of construction is also referred to as "stitch and glue" and you'll see quite a few references to that on this site. Try the Chesapeake Light Craft web site at http://www.clcboats.com/ There is a lot of information on their forum about making that type of boat. I believe there are one or two books about this too, perhaps someone else will have the names for you.

: I am planning to build a tortured plywood or compound bend boat and I am
: wondering why there is so little(almost none) information on this form.
: The boat is for my young children and the water we will be on will be
: lakes and rivers. The material I have read indicates that they are light,
: easy (tricky) to build, inexpensive with good stability. So, why don't
: more people build them? Any comment would be helpful.
