    Hi, i'm new here and in boat bulding stuff
    I'm planning to build a sailing boat according to ORC rules. It will be an ORC 33 and i'm choosing what materials i will use.
    according to rhe rules, for the contruction of the hull and deck structures permited materials are:

    E-glass
    Carbon
    Kevlar
    Epoxy, Vinylester and polyester resin
    Foam core with minimum density of 75 kg/m3
    Balsa Core
    Plywood

    i would appreciate any links with information about these materials.. anything related to advantages/disadvantages, structural strength, etc would be great

    thanks a lot
