There is a chapter in Bolger's book _Different Boats_
about Centennial II, plus a couple articles in the
old magazine Small Boat Journal, here is a scan
of one:

The one that impresses me most is that
11 sheets of 3/8" plywood equals one
ocean crossing capable sailboat, Centennial II.
That is astounding.

dimensional jigsaw pieces is phenominal. I was
astounded at how much boat he could get out of so few
pieces of plywood when I looked at his designs in The
National Fisherman, Small Boat Journal and his early
books.
It is an amazing ability. He's gotten better at it
too.

That would total four sheets for the two sides, assuming that
the plus widths could be nestled against the minus widths.
It would be tight.
Almost for sure, Phil Bolger had schemed a way to nestle the
pieces to get efficient cuts from full panels. He has a solid
reputation [some would say a fetish] for doing that kind of thing.

Can someone who's built a "standard Sneakeasy" give me an idea if the
*sides* can come out of 3 sheets of ply scarfed end-to end?
Given the beam and length it's easy to see that the bottom takes 3
sheets and a little bit more on the "tails".
What about the sides?
It's completely bizarre, (or maybe not so much) but the set of
Sneakeasy plans I bought last year have vanished into the Paper Vortex
on my desk ... I don't mind sending Dynamite some more money for
replacement plans, but I would like to sort out the plywood ordering.
