Speed strip is the ultimate strip planking material for many applications in boat building, repair and restoration. it is the fastest, easiest way to build a strong, rigid, lightweight wooden structure. principal uses include hull and plug construction, decks, hardtops, and cabin sides.. Hull and frames design for 'hogging' introduction. usually there is no construction drawing available for old wooden boats. to still be able to get a line plan of the hull and frames down on paper the main dimensions of the boat have to be obtained, even if the boat is usually weakened and deformed..
