Nice site, thanks, Jurgen, though it's odd to see a German boatbuilder
sizing their boats in feet.
Stitch and glue is a good way of making a monocoque, but how did they
feed into the shell the high point loads from the bottom bracket, hinge,
forks and so on? The boatbuilders tend to take a lot of trouble over
that, with thicker plywood, metal fittings designed to spread the load,
and a lot of glue and many screws or bolts to attach them to the wood.
