cold moulding vs fiber glass

[frosh]

Nautical, so that the more senior forum members might start taking you seriously, what size boating projects have you completed so far. If this is going to be your maiden boat building project, it will be less embarassing just to say nothing.
BTW if you are just day dreaming; you can admit this, we will still have dialogue with you and discuss ideas.

There are so many web sites about this. Try to google "wodd steel aluminium grp".

Here is one builder of barges up to 70 feet:

"Over the years PiperBoats have built with many different materials, including wood, fibreglass and steel.
Our experience shows that a well designed steel hull and superstructure, together with a professional electrical system, is probably the optimum material for the British inland waterways system."

Frosh when I have a question on windsurfing I will ask you for your opinion. So stick to the topic.

Nautical give us us your real name and location, or have you got skeletons in your cupboards. I can tell you that despite my Avatar you over estimate your abilities and under estimate mine. And no, I wont respond to any more of your postings.

Nautical, ha, just as I expected. You remained silent!
