Hey everyone,
I can't decide which is the best way to build the Amigo keel/stem, any sagely advice would be welcome and appreciated.

1, Should I laminate it out of Douglas fir like I did the frames?

2, Should I laminate using 4 layers of marine plywood?

I included some pics to demonstrate the difference.

I haven't done mine yet, but I was planning on laminating ply and hardwood together (ply on the inside).
Of course I'm far from a 'sagely' boat builder, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

My Celerity build.

Just thought I would add an update. I decided to laminate the keel/stem like I did the frames. It is a tedious task ripping 12' 4x4's into 5/16" strips, and trying to exopy more than one strip up at a time, but the weather is great and I can't wait to get back to it.

By the way I still need to order the silicon bronze fasteners, has anyone ever ordered from Yushung? any feedback?

Thanks,
Dan

would be intersted in hearing how far along you guys are?

Any idea of total time to build? total cost?
