Ply grain across the hull

Posted by Alex Ferguson on Aug 19, 2004

I have someone about to build an S&G Mac50 and is thinking of building it with the grain across the bottom planks instead of the usual lengthways. This is the way he usually builds high performance sailing dinghies.

Any comments from anyone, anyone done it this way?
