: Sand,

: Attached is a pic I received yesterday from Cor Lammes(NL). It's an older
: Struer Lancer and is quite beautiful and of molded veneer construction.
: Thanks Cor :)

: Your obvious skills should serve you well no matter the type construction you
: employ.

: It doesn't appear to me that moulded veneer should be any more difficult than
: woodstripping, as each requires that you attach individual thin strips
: ( woodstrip or veneer) to achive the final shape.

: In fact, since the cold or hot moulding of several layers of thin / narrow
: veneers calls for no fiberglassing to achive strength as does stripping,
: it may actually be the easier of the two methods. However, having not yet
: worked with veneers, I could be wrong.

: The one aspect of woodstripping that I liked least was working with
: fiberglass. I prefer quick and simple builds, making SOF, especially
: aluminum frames, my method of choice.

: Regards, Tom

That boat is absolutely beautiful, also looks like it would be alot of fun :)
