Re: Layers of cloth

Only so folks have a point of reference, is this a JM design?

I'm thinking that you need a bit more for foam core. I think the foam core how-to gives some generalizations on how to figure out how many layers you need.

Ha!

So many folks around here enclose those areas then fill them up with furniture and such. Lot's of crying but I keep thinking "if it was safe, why didn't they put your whole house on the ground?"

Re: D5 Build

Keep in mind I taped EVERY STINKING JOINT in my row/sail v12. Then JM said "stop being stupid" (my paraphrase). He doesn't call for any tape, just a good fillet, on the mast partner for the v12. I think the force on that component will be much higher than any of the joints in a d5 with a 2...

Re: D5 Build

It likely isn't needed based on the power specifications. That doesn't mean you can't ADD it if you want. Keep in mind that every piece of FG you put on add 2x it's weight and 3x the sanding. If JM says you don't need the tape then I'd just skip it. Of course if you put a 150hp outboard on the back ...

Re: Which Fiberglass to Choose

IF all you want is nice paint, DO NOT cover the outside with FG. just making more work for yourself. The key to cleaning up the tape seams and joints is ... sand paper. Assuming you don't "work clean" (see Glossieblack's Skinnydip and flyfishingmonk and eric1 builds for what working clean ...

Re: ST21 Hybrid Powered "SKINNYDIP" Noosa Australia

Mrs and I are plotting the logistics now! We've hit a snafu with a couple things but should have all our duck in a row long before then. Plan would be fly from Charleston (CHS) to Brisbane and then public transit to Noosa. We are safe to drive in the US so we would risk killing folks in Aussieland. ...
