    Question for wooden Fish….

    Received this message from Woodie’s owner, who has found a Michigan craftsman to finish her up. “I have a friend here who is a naval architect, who believes that the boat will be much stronger if the frames are epoxied to the top and bottom panels, although defers to anyone with more knowledge...

    Any idea what material I should use for this Sailfish part?

    I ve looked over the super sailfish plans but can’t find the dimensions or type of wood to replace the wooden strip that covers the hull halves and into which the aluminum rail gets screwed.
