PAR Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Pat is still alive isn't she? Which design are you interested in? This is a problem dealing with dead designers, so unless you have a fair bit of traditional building experence, maybe another choice?

Don Silsbe Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Is there a similar keelson beneath your text box? Perhaps this is a mounting surface for floorboards. I don't see a structural advantage. What's the boat's design name, so we can Google more info, photos, check our libraries, etc. (I've built an Atkin Cabin Boy.)
