Microtrawler and Windsprint building - just to mention the

Anyone planning to build a MICRO, OLDSHOE, LONG MICRO, is strongly
advised to purchase the "Duckworks Essential Reader 2000" on CD from
Duckworks online magazine. It will be the best 10 bucks you ever
spent!
The CD has two articles, written by Peter Lenihan describing building
LESTAT. These articles illustrate and clarify each change he made to
the original scantlings and why he made these changes - all of which
were approved by Mr. Bolger who visited the boat.
The three most important changes to my mind are:
He used heavier and better quality plywood than the plans suggest.
He constructed a more robust keel and rudder assembly than the plans
suggest.
He built the hull over a ladder type strongback, which keeps
everything accurately aligned and braced.
