    Hi all.

    Does anyone know some reference books or website or anything similar where to find a fast solution for making/designing preliminar composite structures (epoxy/vinylester PVC/Balsa) for calculating material costs, labour more or less accurate.

    Thanx

    I just found out myself recently. Have a look at my thread "Hull Water Loads". Also "Principles of Yacht Design" by Lars Larsson and Rolf Eliasson seams to be the bible for this sort of stuff.

    Good luck,
    Karsten

    Larson & Eliasson is the bible, but Dave Gerr's "The Elements of Boat Strength" isn't too bad either...
