For the domestic market as well as for export !!
When i say they need to be lighter its a case if doing a new laminate schedual for each boat to do away with gross amounts of chopped strand matt and replacing a good % with better glass that used less resin and is stronger over all . So being lighter can also mean the boats are stronger just they dont weight so much , done properly they can be built quicker as you can lay precut glass cloth heaps quicker then chopping the same amount with the chopper gun even pulling 2 or even 3 strands , Will Still use the gun but its job would be to wet out with mainly !,by reducing the resin content a saving , by being able to lay the glass faster another saving ! so over all with prices of glass differances there should be a saving on the resin and the labour
Its possible to gain strength and stiffness by simply changing the possition of the layers of glass cloth within a laminate to make a core from the layers of chopped strand matt and if you do wet on wet laminates while you are doing that you can save resin +time =money at the end and you dont have to work harder to achieve these savings !
