G'day,
No, be dead easy, apart from the hull/deck join on the smaller
boats where you can't get inside, but there would not be much more
work to fix that. I am pretty sure that it is possible to do the
whole thing in one hit, resulting in a curved deck with the sexy sheer
and only one join along the centre of the deck. Need some judicious
cuts along the edge radius, but these would only be 100mm/4" long and
would be concentrated in the area where the sheer curve changed.
This is one of the things I want to try on the next version of
Solitarry.
regards,
Rob
