Very bonnie.

Two questions:

(i) you're using very narrow strips. Do you not think with the easy
lines of this boat you could have used considerably wider strips
(like, twice as wide) and that this would have made the build
easier/quicker?

I'm not sure about twice, but I could have definately used wider strips.
The cedar that I purchased was only about 5/8 inch thick. That is one
lesson I learned for the next boat.


(ii) how are you going to get the formers out of the ends?

The whole thing is a "clamshell". The deck will be removed from the hull
after the outer skin is fiberglassed, then the forms will all be removed
before glassing the inside and joining the 2 halves.
