extending the inner stem?
extending the inner stem?
Has anyone thought about extending the inner stem to the next station inboard. Im building the Ranger and im getting ready to bend the stems. I guess Im more keelminded than not and this would strengthen the strip ends until the football. Would I be over building or over thinking this. Is the fg cloth that strong to hold the center joint from buckling. I would appreciate some feedback.

At Green Valley Boatworks they prolong the stems to the third station: http://www.greenval.com/FAQstems.html#Length
