Hi Rolf,
I have been watchin' your efforts for some time, you and the other members who started home built projects. Great job, keep us informed.
Q: What thinckness of strips are you planning to use ? And why didn't you tried foam ? The Blade hasn't too much hull surface, so the cost is close to wood, I guess...Foam seems very simple to work with...and clean too!

I hope I can start soon my own home build Blade project, it's an inspiration to see you guys work on the Blade.
Had allready contacted Phill, I hope he agrees with my project, I'm planning for a female mold and foam but he said the plans are not suited to this.
Are there big differences from the tortured ply method to strip plank? I guess not, If you are using same ply thinckness, but if not...
Anyway, looking forward to see the first strips on the stations.
