LIST OF MATERIALS FOR HULL & DECK

The following lists of materials are approximate and intended only for calculation of approximate costs. They are not intended to be used for the ordering of exact quantities of materials for construction.

Lengths and areas are based on the actual amounts remaining in the vessel without any allowance for building stocks, temporary framing, bracing etc nor for wastage in cutting to size and shape as required. Such wastage is dependent on the skill of the builder.

This is a frameless boat so temporary station frames must be provided and are not included in these figures.
