    Lets get off on the right foot .
    Pictures of what you got !!!
    How about some sizes of panels!!
    If its 26 feet long how about area of panels etc etc and what is going inside each hull ??
    Layout !:confused::idea::?:

    Who ever you got the moulds from did you not get any information on the construction ?? what about cross beams and the mast etc etc all important things !!

    Sounds like a Sirroco 26, Prouts built them in the 80's & early 90's & shipped some tooling out to SA. Though Prouts no longer exist i expect somebody still owns the design rights. It might be worth asking CYB on Canvey for advice on layups as they used to do the mouldings.
