The last time I was looking for alternative designs and found an interesting article about building a 12m sailing yacht from plywood. The article was written by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Günter Grabe from the University of Applied Sciences in Kiel, Germany.
Building a 12m Sailing Yacht from Plywood
The article describes construction and strength of the sailing yacht "SEQINEQ", a Dudley Dix design based on the Didi 38/40.
