A boat with glued beams is lighter, stiffer and cheaper. But if you need to change a hull, repaint the boat or take it apart to store it or transport it you have problems.
On the Marstrom A-class the extra cost is around 1000-2000 euro and the structure needed to transfer the load from the bolts to the hull is 2-3kg.
Is it worth the extra cost and weight?
