Yeah, so are some lightweight canoes. What, exactly, is the lamination
schedule on this Nordhavn knockoff?


Can't tell you that I know.

I will say that it would make very uninteresting reading and would be
inconsistent with a general skim-over description of a boat.

I suppose that's the first question you ask of every exhibitor at your
local boat show? I'd venture to say you'd get conflicting answers for
most products, with at least a few layers of BS ("biaxial stranding"
of course) thrown into most laminates for good measure.

It's not a Nordhavn knockoff in the least....Nordhavn's of similar
size are
generally displacement hulls and this boat is semi-displacement. (I
think Nordhavn might have something down in the mid-30's that is a
semi, but I'd have to check to confirm).




I was commenting on its looks, and posted two photos. It looks like a
knock-off of a Nordhavn.
