I have just obtained some plans to build an A class yacht. It is effectively built from long ply panels edged glued then taped etc. I have seen this used for smaller yachts and it works very well as you end up with a light weight hull with no formers to get in the way of fitting out.
The biggest issue on the A is to find ply wood to make the panels. Ideally, what I would be looking for would be 1.0mm -1.2mm ply in sheets about 2.4metres long. I can find 1.5mm at about 60" long at SLEC. Just wondered if anyone had come across anything else. I have been looking at firms who laser cut plywood to see if there is anyone who offers anything similar , as the designer supplied a set of .DXF files for the panels which is what I believe the cutters use.
Any leads would be of interest
