Building a Glocester Gull Light Rowing Dory

[Green Light]

Boulter has 4'x16' marine plywood sheets that are two 4'x8' sheets joined via "scarf joint".

I did not see any 4'x16' sheets on Marine Plywood. But, they do have 4'x10' sheets.

So, it looks like the best way to get a "stretched" version of the dory is to get 2 4'x10' and join them via "scarf joint". This would give 20', which can be reduced to 18' or 19' accordingly.

But, it looks like a "splice joint" is stronger than a scarf joint.

Thank you all for feedback thus far.

Slipknot would know, he not only consumes large quantities of plywood in his business but built his own skiff too boot.

CLC does scarf joints for longer length plywood. easy to do with a power and hand planer combo
