    That's another really lovely boat.

    I guess the type of hull I have in mind doesn't really have the nice curved lines that a sailboat would have, but maybe I can start with a basic v bottom punt...

    ok thanks Jeff,

    Guess I won't bother then, the hull isn't in bad nick and all the edges and joints were taped so they have two layers already.

    No not really Grahame,
