Note: all plywood to be marine grade, best quality. If using lesser grade ply, then hull skins should be 9mm,decks 7mm, minimum. Use lightweight plywood , e.g. gaboon.

GLUE: Major strength joints and underwater joints to be epoxy glue (60kg approx)
Deck and Interior joints can be polyurethene glue (10kg  approx)
Hulls to be sheathed in 200g glass cloth
50m2 sheathing material required  ( Deck sheathing optional, extra 35m2 material required)Details of working conditions, method, fillet construction etc. are obtainable from glue manufacturers, as different types require different techniques.
