I'm guessing that the contents of the proposed vessel contain equipment that has some value or scarcity,due to it being novel and thus...

It's a robotic catamaran, no lives at stake, merely a toy unless it's loaded with something evil. Surfboards are pretty tough with very...

I hate to disagree with ondarvr or any other contributors here. One layer of 1708 as ‘the only structural’ material won’t be sufficient...

With that limited information, and assuming this doesn't need to survive in harsh conditions, one layer of 1708 would be more than...

Just my builder perspective and not AI. I think it would be rather difficult to put a socket head machine screw into what looks like a...

If this is a filament wound mast, then it consist of unidirectional fibers wound in three axis in a standard 20/50/30 % proportions. 90...

If you see this microcracks, you are in trouble. If none yet, do not be too complacent. Carbon fiber laminate belongs to the "brittle"...

just add milled carbon fiber to epoxy into a hole drilled to the od of the screw It will be very strong. If you want to test it; use 3...

The boat feels ‘draggy’ at lower speeds. I suspect a couple of things. I watched the SOG and it varied a lot from 12-15 kts. Everytime...

This is not fully true. There are high strength epoxies that would be highly compressible. Not as good as a 1/2” stack of carbon, but...

The professional does not perhaps understand the hole size. Let’s say those are number 12 screws. In order to make a plug; you need to...

I think you are now understanding/exploring the limits of your boat. So, it is basic seamanship knowing in what conditions your boat is...

Just difficult to fill all the way. It can be done with syringe and open needle tips. Sometimes, I put the volume expected to fill on...
