My boat has 3/4" of handlaid mat & woven roving above the waterline. No
way
you'll see daylight. The 35s5 has less than that below the waterline.



You can see bright sunlight through an inch of fiberglass, Mooron. I've
been aboard some old-time Albergs and such and you can see light. Means
nothing of course. You can also see light through bullet proof glass. I
helped install a radar on a Sweden last season....plenty of light
coming through the hull of the proven blue water sailor as well.
Vito is just an idiot and likes to prove it often.
1" thick was because no one knew how touch glass could be at that time.
My old Catalina also had some pretty thick sections. Nowadays they're
building thin strong hulls like mine and that's yet another reason why
my boat is the better sailor. Plus my boat doesn't rot inside like the
Nordica...don't make me post those pics of the Nordica frame rotting!
