Juan:  Don't worry about the english-mine isn't that good  either.  Welcome to the forum.  Beside Rogers book there are two sources I am very familiar with, having built a boat from each.  Both sources provide  good plans and instructions.

Hello boats cajune page I was hooked.
My idea is to build a boat of 14 ', I have very basic plans, my question is that I combienethickness of plywood used to buy a single measure, thus cutting costs.
Thanks for the info.
I would like to buy in the future plans of some model of cajun boats

Hola, Juan. If I understand your words correctly you are asking if you can build the boat from plywood of all the same thickness, yes? It is most common in the Northwestern region of the US to use 6mm / 1/4" for the sides and 12 mm / 1/2" for the bottom of the boat. Using 12 mm for everything could be done but you may find it difficult to bend it like Jason Cajun does in his boats. I have never seen the Cajun plans so I can't comment on what he uses. Others have built his boats so hopefully they will comment. Good luck with your boat building adventure.

Good day,

Rick Newman

Hi Rick, thanks for your comment. Thought had set up their boat with plywood 3/8. But not if it is correct.
thanks
Juan

Hola, Juan.

Desculpeme mi espanol.  Un amigo mio tiene planes para un barco.  Creo que son mas o menos simple.  Si tiene interes, puedo obtener una copia, y enviarlos a Ud.  Necesito su dirreccion de correo en Argentina.  Como otras persons, creo que no es bueno usar 12mm plywood para todo la constuccion.  El barco va a ser demasicado pesado.   Es tradicional aqui constuir con frames, o  'ribs".
