maybe he floats should be built-up like cold molded boat construction

I have the Gougeon brothers book buried somewhere and need to find it. My thoughts mirror yours on cold molded construction.
Haven't been in Shell for years but, I keep hearing from various people about all manner of exotic products. I must pay a visit there again and peek around!
I'm a bit concerned about that bottom profile for places like where you are now, although I wouldn't try it on choppy days.
I like your address, ......ICW,...... now that's the life! Let me guess, retired ATP, heavy displacement full keel ketch about 45'. I know because it's what I would have done!!
Thanks a lot for the lead on Shell, it's tops on my list for a visit now.
