The savings of taping is good too.


Would be if it had happened.  Needs a bit more work to make it time effective as well as materials effective.  Working on it. 


though you still have fiddly parts to go.

True, but not as many as most boats.  The bunks are in, the seats and galley are mostly folded up from flat panels and the bulk of the cabin top is  a flat sheet, bent.

I think people over engineer when doing a bit of amatuer designing at home.
Eg rudder, beam to hull joins.
Feels safer to add more.


Not just amateurs, a lot of pro designers and builders also add a little more to feel safer.   No problem if it is not their money being spent.


Is this (FlashHarry) a schooner or single?

Schooner.  2 masts the same as the ones on Rare Bird/Blind Date, but with no jibs, so about 50% more sail area.
