I have seen a number of boats built in C-Flex, seen demonstrations by
Seamann and it is 100% certain that the glass rods stay in the hull.
And yes, the boats are heavy.

Bzzztttttt!!!!!!

Nope - it was developed, and has been used for years, as a structural
material.

I don't _like_ the stuff, but there it is.
C-Flex boats always finished up overweight, because most were built on
male
forms, and no thought was given to the weight of fairing compound
required ;-(

Well, if you say so. I am only recalling, possibly erroneously,
what I seem to remember reading 20 or so years ago.

Just think, now I must retrace all the 'facts' built up on that
fallacy ever since.

I am still somewhat doubtful, you will understand, because I have
not seen substantive corroborration, but my mind is always open
to new knowlege. Perhaps you have a source for this revelation?

Calling c-flex panels 'fiberglass panels' still seems foreign to
me.
