John,

Thanks for information on Six10. I have not cracked the tube yet. I spent last weekend ripping the foam strips and putting on the bead edge. Next weekend I’ll be cutting the cove and ready to start planking the hull. I’ll keep your advice in mind as I start planking. I think I’ll need both methods depending on the curve, bend, and twist in some of the lines.

I understand that the skin laminate lay-up of the glass cloth is the bonding and strength of the composite hull. I’m working with the NA on a lay-up schedule specific to the changes we made in the shape of the hull and materials I am using.
