<p>I would also recommend 4mm.</p>
<p>I used WPB myself. Unless you plan to leave the boat in the water all year round, this should be fine.</p>
<p>One tip: don't cut the aft deck until you can take the measurement of the hull. The dimensions in the plans are wrong - too narrow if I remember correctly.</p>
<p>If I should build a hitia 17 again I would probably put the deck stringer (the one that runs down the middle) on the inside instead. It would be a lot easier to…</p>

<p>Hi Marc, Many thanks for your reply. Have you used marine ply or WPB? Is your boat finished, and if you have any other hints,tips, that would be great.</p>

<p>Hi Sydney,</p>
<p>For myself, i used 6mm ply for bulkheads and small pièces in 12mm (2*6mm glued). 12mm ply for stem, stern posts, rudders. and 4mm ply for hull side and deck as specified.</p>
<p>IMHO, the curvature of the hull side at the stern is not so small. I don't know if a 5.5mm ply could endorse such a torture without breaking.</p>
