Defender strake layout, three sheets of plywood.

After seeing the gorgeous Defender over the weekend I was curious
about the strake layout, so I loaded it into Freeship to see.
Probably a sign of PCB's genius, I see that the strakes of a Defender
fall very efficiently onto a 4x12 foot panel. In other words, that
boat can be planked with just three sheets of 1/4" plywood. Wow.
