I read the big debate about beams and noticed that you have voted for a rule that forbids glued together boats.

A-class boats that are glued together are CHEAPER to build! Marstrom says that he could save 1000 euros on a boat and make it a couple of kg lighter. It is a complex structure to tranfer the point load from the bolt to the hull.

If you need to replace a hull or beam the glue used in the joint between hull and beam is a bit weaker than the epoxy used for the prepreg so you can remove the beam without destroying the hull or the beam. It is not easy but it can be done.

If you really need to transport the boat easily concider changing the max beam to 2.3 instead.
