This is a very interesting project. I noticed the builder avoided exotic materials and is investigating core materials from other than the marine market. Very Sensible. I wonder if they will use wet layup or vacuum bags to build the hull? The laminate schedule for the hull seems very light to me - basically an inside and outside layer of 540 GSM fiberglass. Would like to know how this stands up in service.

For comparison, the laminate schedule for my 34 foot amas was: 200 GSM e-glass cloth, 340 GSM carbon cloth, 200GSM Kevlar, 1/2 inch nomex honeycomb core, 720 GSM carbon unidirectional, 340 GSM carbon cloth. This is from the outside in. This was a judgement call on my part just as the skin for this smaller tri is a judgement call. That's why it's so interesting to find out what works and what dosent later in the boat's life.
