"The reason why we had so much confidence is that when you build a boat out of timber, you know what timber is capable of - capable of so much more than just cladding, and Tasmania has that sort of institutional knowledge of making things with timber, curving with timber, and part of that's just like, when you're familiar with how they used to make boats out of timber just float, all of a sudden, just a cladding board, doesn't seem to feel as scary."
