It is based on builders' actual experiences and covers lauan, BC pine, fir, okume (occume), marine plywood and plywood over foam. Most of the discussion occurred in the context of boat designs by Phil Bolger. Contents 1. 1. From: Ned Asplundh I have some questions about plywood experience for fellow Bolgerites. My first project was a Pointy Skiff, in which I used 1/4 & 3/8 AA dougfir marine from ML Condon. After two weeks of drying on the sawhorses in the yard, the new coating also shows checking underneath.
Anybody having similar experiences? My next two projects were the Instant Kayak and Shoebox; the Kayak just launching last fall and the Box still sits on the porch, waiting for a deck and paint.

John's Nautical and Boatbuilding Page. Marine Wire Source - sponsored by Allied Wire & Cable, Inc. UL 1426 is a commonly seen marine specification for electrical cables.
Marine wire that has been investigated by the Underwriters Laboratories will meet the requirements of UL 1426. UL 1426 is the numerical standard referenced in UL's BDFX reference for boat cable. The (BDFX) Boat Cable guide reads, "Boat cable is rated 600 V or less, 60 ºC or 75 ºC wet, 60 ºC to 200 ºC in dry locations and, for cable so marked, 60 ºC and lower temperatures where exposed to oil. The cable employs stranded copper conductors in a size range of 18 to 4/0 AWG inclusive for multi-conductors, 16 to 4/0 AWG inclusive for single conductors. " Marine wire, boat cable, and marine primary wire that meet UL 1426 approval will be marked accordingly. UL 1426 approved electrical cable may be used on marine pleasure craft and is widely accepted for marine cable installed in recreational boats.
