Default RE: 72

Ok Thanks Mart,  i was contemplating using Biaxial cloth , just never have had much experience with the stuff where i have been building with CSM for about 20 years and have had great results,  am thinking though on putting some carbon around the engines and across the tunnel and around the transom though.
  I guess the reason i use wood in the transom area is because that is pretty much all i can get, saying that i may have to investigate a little further with my fiberglass supplier.
  I'm not too sure i can shave too much more weight off as this hull already weights 6.2kg,  and with the twins in there i don't think weight will really be an issue, but point taken.  It is much easier to add weight than remove it.

 I appreciate the input and am by no means shunning it, it what helps make me a better builder in the end.

Regards Mick
