Two layers of 3mm ply from a recycled skate board half pipe. Stringers are from construction grade pine. The keel and stem have been laid up and come away with the molded hull. 3mm ply strips are cut and laid side by side and secured with staples. The hull is so fine that very little scribing is needed.
Cling film is used to ensure the easy removal of the hull from the mold.
The second layer of ply is glued to the first using resoursinol resin adhesive. This vertical planking method is simpler, less wasteful and still gives plenty of veneers with opposing grain for ample strength. Both sides of the hull were planked simultaneously to keep the mold from buckling. The hull is 900 mm deep. The ama is stitch and tape 3mm ply.
