Stitch-and-glue construction, along with the development of epoxy and modern mahogany marine plywood, has revolutionized and revitalized wooden boat building.

This method of building is not only stronger, lighter, and faster than traditional wooden boat building, but it also takes far less skill. With stitch-and-glue construction, no strongbacks, forms, or temporary frames are required to build the boats.
