Decent exterior (as opposed to the rubbish at the FIY stores) is plenty good enough. Just don't keep the boat outside in the frost all winter, keep it in the garage. |

Robbins elite ply seems pretty good, but is very pale in colour. For a scary price, you can by stripy Tiger Elite, which is beautiful (great for decks). I'm not sure any of the designs I've seen so far will actually go forwards, let alone put a strain on the ply... |

A canoe is very different from a high performance skiff. £20-00 a sheet could you please tell me where you got it from. |

"Several Mirror dinghys have been home built using WBP, you will recognise them as the rotten lumps in the corner of the dinghy park or the ones with bubbles on the ply where it is delaminating." Yes, but they have been there many years. I've built 7 1/2 foot canoes from WBP 4 mm ply and they are still going many years later. And I've just bought some 3mm Robbins Elite marine ply for a deck at £20something a sheet, and 3 mm is far more likely to be used. £100 for the hull easy, but fittings, rig etc, unless donated off the dead Mirror, will cost a bomb. |
