They don't.
It's being built in the same method as Bolger's Longship.
All plywood frames and plywood strakes.

So many of the really beautiful

are designed using 'green' white oak,
for steam bent ribs. Bolger does this
because that wood is available in New
England, [& east of the Missisippi].
Here in California, [and in Texas?],
'green' wood suitable for steam bending
is not available.
Saw cut ribs, or plywood frames,
[like w/Spur II] are our only reasonable
choice.

I've made contact with Thorgard (real name Mark) in San Antonio and
I'm going over to visit and help on the Longship project.
They have a Longship building weekend on the second weekend of each
month. It's not Bolger's plan, but based on Gaia (sp) a LS in a museum
in Denmark, I think. He took a lapstrake building course last year,
built a Nutshell Pram, then tackled a 40 foot Lonship. Gutsy. He is
the one who commisioned Bolger to draw up his LS and still owns the
plans and intends to build it one day. I'll bet studying Bolger's
plans helped him a lot.
Their LS is totally framed and they're now hanging the planking.
They've got the third one hung and might actually get her launched
this summer!
They accepted my offer to come help and I might take Chuck Leinweber
with me if I can drag him away from Duckworks for a weekend. Of course
we'll take photos and put up an article after. I plan on going for the
2nd. weekend in April.
Here's a link to their site, scroll down and click on progress. Then
click around the whole site, it's awesome.

Here's a link to a Longship buiding group I stumbled across and
immeadiately joined:

Frozen in fear in a soon to be airborne mobile home in dark, dreary,

possibility in todays servere weather warning on the Clearwater Gulf
coast. Temperature 65 F. No rowing to The Pub, er clubhouse, today.
We'll drive over.
