See how light and simple the structure is?!
That's why my boats are so light in comparison with most Northern Hemisphere designs. It is not my own method though - it comes from the Australian and NZ tradition of lightweight plywood racing dinghy construction.
Generally plywood boats in this region come out at around 10lbs/foot, whereas most from other regions come out near double that. Sometimes more.
The method is hugely strong too - our waters can be rough and our winds are much stronger on average than Europe or Nth America.
