Strip build: Thin strips of wood are edge glued together over temporary moulds or forms, faired, and covered inside and out with fiberglass cloth and epoxy.
Stitch-n-Glue: Panels of marine plywood are temporarily held together (stitched) with copper wire, glued with epoxy and fiber-glassed to achieve various hull shapes.
Hybrid: This construction method combines the best attributes of stitch-n-glue and strip building. A Hybrid combines the beauty of a cedar strip deck with the utility of a plywood hull. It results in fewer parts, faster building time and is less costly to produce.
