    Default Method of boatbuilding. Which is best?

    Which is the best way to build a boat? Stitch and glue? Probably the quickest. Strip plank? Good if you want round bilge. Frames and stringers? A lot of work. What do you think? I have built boats using each of these methods and they are all good. Can look at some pics

    Ye gods man!!! Are ye trying to start a fight asking that in a wooden boat forum !!??

    Nice boat the Redfin. Following the build in AABB with interest.
    What's the story with squidoo? Nearly didn't bother with the link - scummy URL that looks like spam or malware or summat.
    cheers

    There is no best way and each method has good and bad aspects about it. The fastest way is to pull out an air pump and blow one up.

    I think building one of my designs is the best way . . .

    Easy - have someone else build it for you so you can enjoy the torture boarding whilst having a beer............

    Horses for courses really. Dependent on hull shape, skill level, available materials, budget etc etc
