for all ( related to the Topic )

In the Book , a must have for all interested in the Topic :
" The Gougeon Brothers on Boat construction "
Wood & West System Materials and especialy in part 23 : from page 206 to 226 "Building and Developing Compounded Plywood Hulls "
we find their master and expert opinion .
As a small review of that Book we posted 4 files : West1,2,3&4.jpg in a special Folder in Files :1 being the Cover ,4 a pic of the Tornadohull ,2&3 the first 2 pages of the detailed explaination of designing & building such hulls.

Derek Kelsall remains the Pioneer who since the sixties
(Toria,Great Britain , Legs of Mann , VSD .......) promoted KSS
the" Kelsall Swiftbuild Sandwich " or Kelsall's Origami system.

In 1986 the leading German Yacht Magazine choose an origami plywooden boat as their favorite build , you will find parts of the article in the Folder " Origami Plywood Yacht Jolle " in the Files .

I realy hope we will all enjoy the use and benefit of this repository,
