That really shows how strong Apache's are. Are the Apaches hull and top deck glassed together also?

Your Saber is pretty similar the only major difference I notice is that you dont have an extra stringer running down the center of the boat.

How much of a difference does an extra stringer make in a boat?

That picture really does explain why Apaches are great wave crushers.

It looks like the saber bulkheads are made from balsa core. Very interesting. Also the cut outs are smaller, maybe that is why they didn't install the center stringer? Also looks like they may have used a different type of fabric glass on the tab areas. Is the plumbed tank a ballast tank? Awesome looking structure to say the least on both boats.
