From your fine web site:

"Most of the inside of the boat is covered with glass and Epoxy. Due to the
curvature of the inside it was somewhat difficult to get the glass follow
the sides. This I have to sand away and replace with new glass. After the
boat is finished, this will not be visible."

I ended up making my dinghy 20% heavier than it should have been by glassing
the interior. Since then I've read/decided that the fiberglass is only
there to reinforce the epoxy. The boat's strength comes from the plywood.
Only the areas of the interior where sandy feet will be deserve glass.
(Yes, it all gets epoxy.)

I used pine plywood, and to make sure the sealing is water thight over time
I decided to use a thin layer of glass. I learned on the net that on
pine plywood you might get minor cracks over time if you only cover it
with epoxy and use no glass.

On the bottom of the boat i have used a lot (probably to much) glass and
epoxy on both the inside and outside to make it a real sandwich
construction.

More updates will follow on my page in a few days, I am working on the
deck and the wind shield at the moment.

I have not made up my mind about if I want to have a wind scheild only
or a smal hard top, but I probably end up with only a wind shield. The
hard top I was planing is getting to big and dominating, I don't think
it will look right.
