Stitch and glue is a simple boat building method which uses plywood panels temporarily stitched together, typically with wire or zip-ties, and glued together permanently with epoxy resin. This type of construction can eliminate much of the need for frames or ribs. [ 1 ]
The boat can also be amateur-built from plans, using the stitch and glue construction method. [7] ... Phantom 14 (catamaran) - a boat with a similar name; Phantom 16 ...
Bolger's first generation of "chine log instant boats" for home building was followed by a generation of "stitch and glue" (aka "tack and tape") boats. This technique was made possible by the evolution of glues and the massification of polyester and epoxy resins combined with fiberglass tape.
A subdivision of the sheet plywood boat building method is known as the stitch-and-glue method, [8] where pre-shaped panels of plywood are drawn together then edge glued and reinforced with fibreglass without the use of a frame. [9] Metal or plastic ties, nylon fishing line or copper wires pull curved flat panels into three-dimensional curved ...
Its design was based upon the easy–to–construct stitch and glue principle introduced by Barry Bucknell for the Mirror 11 dinghy. The Mirror 16 was designed for the racing enthusiast and also the camping/potterer dinghy sailor. The concept was a relatively light dinghy with a large sail area that could easily be reefed.
As with the Mirrors, the 125 can be assembled from plywood using the "stitch and glue" method, and, as far as possible, the 125 uses Mirror parts in its design. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The parallels between the boats go as far as the design of the sail insignia – the 125 employs a design based on the Mirror's symbol lying on its side.
The Frosty is a racing sailboat, usually built of wood, using two 4 by 8 ft (1.2 by 2.4 m) sheets of 0.25 in (6.4 mm) plywood and assembled using an epoxy stitch and glue technique. [1] [2] The design has a pram hull with no chines or internal framing and has only one bulkhead.
Competition for choice of which small boat to build became very intense during this period of dinghy development. Consequently, in order to respond to new public demand and the new construction techniques, a stitch-and-glue version, very much lighter in weight, with a V-bottom hull, was produced as the DIY Mermaid MK II.
