Starting rowing boat building business

Congrats on finally getting those moulds! Sounds like a fantastic project, especially since it can be a rowing boat or take a small outboard.

Two layers of 600g for most of the boat and three in some key areas is a good starting point, but without more information on the specific design (the photo might help with this) and intended use, it's tough to give a definitive laminating schedule. You should talk to a boat builder. They can look at the moulds and photo and give much more specific advice on the laminating schedule and materials. They might even be able to recommend some pre-made fiberglass composites that would be perfect for your project.

In addition, to help you further with your project, consider using a business information API. This type of API allows you to access and manage data about businesses, such as contact information, locations, and reviews. For example, you could use a business information API to find a local boat builder in your area.

I saved money on legal compliance by using a UK company address provider for my own boat business setup, as it separates personal liability from the workshop.

If you are selling boats into the EU, they still have to comply.

For your moulds, double-check the hull overlaps at 6-8cm, and consider practicing with scrap materials before handling the 600g fiberglass layers. Safety matters more than shortcuts here.
 
Starting the business is the easy part,with or without a UK company address provider.The hard part is sustaining the business after the first six months or so.
