Jim BrownBOATBUILDING — WHICH KIND?

After doing several interview capers, we have here the results of some interesting comparisons, resulting from hurricane damage, between good old sheet plywood construction, and “cold molded” or Constant Camber (CC) construction.

Design differences between the Searunner 34 and the CC 35 are discussed, as are the challenges of getting good wood for these boats today. And, oh yes, the virtues of epoxy!

In the end, if you want to go NOW, buy a good, used monohull. There are lots of them around begging to go cruising.
