    Is it maybe that this an old lifeboatconversion which where often built with several layers of thin carvel planking going in opposite directions which made them much stronger - Ships lifeboats and RNLI boats were built this way at one time prior to aluminium grp etc. There is a name for this type of construction -which escapes me right now!...?

    thought double diagonal was just that - diagonal. Think less framing was required with it. Cant see the benefit of horizontal/vertical planking, must be a naval thing.
