Gut Feel. Cut hole, rebate and radius core enough for 4-5 layers of uni around cut out and cover with one layer of Double Bias (150mm) and peel...
And it’s gone.
EXACTLY ! Assumption is the mother of many a screw up, including that the builder knows more than the designer. So many overbuilt boats because...
It’s a race driven thing, slicing through the chop stops pitching rather than bouncing up and down shaking the wind out of the rig, faster but...
I’ll be brief. It’s Vulgar.
An avenue I would consider is making a batten mould for just the bilge and covering it with doping fabric like an aircraft fuselage. Over that...
Yes I think. How thick is your foam 10-12mm maybe 15 ? How far is that going to span ? So how many frames are you going to have to set up to keep...
Saturn Cuddy on Scorpio hulls would be a great boat. The rounded hull bottoms aren’t a big issue but you’ve repeatedly said how fearful you are...
If you like the basic Windsong there are a few basic hacks you could consider. Add or widen the keel panel so it’s a little dory like for more...
Scow bows have enjoyed a renaissance with 6.5 mono racing as far as I can ascertain more particularly downwind racing and I think that is their niche.

The thing about flat panels is unless you go to the trouble of making cast in rebates for the join tapes, which you can do IF you have accurate...
Not to much spiling, but far more joints to glue and get fair. Hard glue lines and soft foam are a ***** to fair. How many strip plank hulls have...
Vertical would be the preferred method. Look on YouTube Some of your savings evaporate as foam needs thicker skins. [MEDIA]
Do you think they would sell it specifically for infusion if it interferes with the resin ? All your problems are solvable.
As far as foam shaping goes build a hot box and buy some gloves and your sorted. The hotbox heats it all the way through which makes it much...
Check with Tafe sometimes it’s part of boat building or fibreglass courses. Employ someone who knows what they’re doing to supervise you. Not...
What’s the big deal about rounded hulls in foam ? Build male or female with batten mould for the curved part. Cut the foam into 200mm strips...
I’d be surprised if either of them had a boat under 10m. Although the Paralax 9.0 squeezes in albeit with bridgedeck. At this point I’d go Simpson...
