Hello,

I am completing a pair 12' EasyB strip plank canoe and have really enjoyed the experience compared to my last stitch and glue boats.

I found the lines for the 14' Black Fly sailing dinghy which is built with lapstrake ply.

It looks like I can just use the forms to build in strip plank, but I wanted to verify.

Can this design be built in strip plank safely?

Any tips or tricks for the stem and transom?

Any other considerations?

Can't see anything about her lines that would make strip planking difficult:
