I think we know this guy already; his name is Scooby Simon ! grin

He got a carbon mast, carbon beams and I believe carbon hulls. All made be Stealth Marine in the UK

I think he drew the line at diamond inlays however ! grin

Smart fellow !

I think Simon is out in his shed trying to weigh his all carbon boat.... And his scales are not showing him the weight he would like to see...


It's not all Carbon; It's got a Carbon mast; Carbon beams and some Carbon and Kevlar in the layup around the beam trays and a few other areas; I'm sure John P would give you a rough idea how he lays the boats up to get them down to weight; He can manage it building on his own, in his workshop, which is an old stable.

As for weight; last time it was weighed, it was just under weight. As stated above; Blades have been built down to weight without using Carbon.

Macca,

How are you getting on with getting the F18's and A classes to up their Min weight? As you've not answered that question, I assume they are not keen?
