Hi David
Just a quick note here. Remember you can use butt joints to connect the plywood if you don¡¯t want to scarf the plywood. And you can do the gluing on the boat itself, panel by panel. It is a matter of routing out some notches in the stringers for the butt strap (only as deep and wide as the butt strap), gluing the butt strap in the notch, and then gluing your ply panel on (which you have already cut to the right shape). Also, it will be interesting to see if the cost of cnc cutting the bulkheads is worth it, as most of Bernd¡¯s designs have bulkheads with straight lines. You plot the points on the ply panel, then draw straight lines to connect the dots. Then I think it is easy to clamp on a straight edge as a guide and cut them with a circular saw with lots of teeth. The hard work is plotting the points. But you have to do that with a cnc cut also. Then you also have to cut out the stringer notches, but once again the hardest part is making sure you know where they go.?
Best of luck to you on the build! I started out thinking trailerable monohull, then got a case of the ¡°might as well¡±s and the idea grew and grew and now we are building a 12m cat. So be careful :)
Cheers
Patrick
