G'day everyone,
have just finished drawing a little v-nosed punt. will be used primarily as a fishing boat, throwing lures at docks and marinas ...etc. the boat will be an epoxy, foam, glass sandwich. will also be vac bagged.
at this stage i plan on using a pvc core and bi-ax (0/90) glass.
i am unsure of foam thickness (10mm?) and density(80kg/m3??).
also am not sure as to what weight and how many layers of glass on the inside and outside of the hull.
I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel and weight isnt super critical, but i would still like it to be light.
could anyone give me a starting point as to what materials are needed in the layup.
any advice much appreciated
Cheers adam
