: Truth be told, it's really not that much plywood. In a 4' x 8' sheet of
: plywood, I was able to get the 4 forms for my daughter's Sea Flea, 7 forms
: for a Sea Tour 17 and the base ring + 2 risers for the coaming for the Sea
: Flea. I still have a fair amount of plywood left over (maybe 1/3 of the
: sheet).

: -Doug

That sounds like enough wood in a sheet to not worry. I already have a little under 1/2 size or so sheet of good quality plywood sitting in my basement that I thought I could sqweeze the sections out of it...
