Indeed, ply lapstrake is *by far* more forgiving than stitch and glue panels.

And, if you can get over the urge to go slow for accuracy, it can be
nearly as fast. I recall the Cartoon 5 build took 60 manhours.

To do it over, I would stretch the boat by 6 inches to give 3 inches
more legroom between the seats, and my 6 foot frame would like just a
smidge more legroom.

Proving once again that boat design is as much an art form as a
science project:-)

There was enough information given in the Small Boat Journal article
to build from, though I would say that I only got to within 6 inches
of accurate, regardless, it is a nice and handy boat.

Ah, now I remember. You used hulls to give you the bulkheads for this
correct and the plank shapes also? I can't remember where you got the
original offsets.

Spur II and Cartoon 5 are two different boats. Cartoon 5 is double
ended, and it is my favorite. Especially sweet in the choppy part of
the lake, rough and ugly from all the motorboat wakes. And on the
smooth parts, like a dream. Also carries a load nicely. Built with
unglassed 1/4" laun I can easily lift and portage single handed.

Just got back from a Bolgeresque weekend at the lake, sorry no photo
from my 'Cartoon 5', as I was in it constantly. What a great rowboat.
By the way, an 11 year old in a Kotick wins the race.
