Sally wanted a small rowboat so we bought a "Stitch and Glue" kit for the Eastport Pram from Chesapeake Light Craft.

With "Stitch and Glue", plywood panels are first "stitched" together with copper wire to form the hull shape. Then the seams are glued with thickened epoxy. You can read more about the process here.

After the hull is fully stitched, the stitching will be tightened up to remove the gaps.
