Itis 6mm for centre and bildge pannels, 4mm for top-sides, all Akome marine ply from Noahs in Toronto Ont.
Yes the shell is correct for its rocker. The width and hull deflections are not set as this is a shell, a flimsy "bucket" that awaits a fill in of the innards. Set it on a pair of bunks and then add bulkheads, tank-sides, centre-board case etc. A close monitor of hull shape must be maintained when installing the insides.
