Default Hull Flexing

4 thou. measured on the back of a boat? Complete BS.

I remember reading about a New Orleans Marine hotshot racing boat built back in the 1980s, which
had a hull & deck of uncored glass & mat with a subimposed grid of straight S-glass. Everybody
guffawed and said "Those hicks sure don't know how to build racing boats, shoulda used foam
core" but the builder shrugged and said that they measured the bend in the hull/deck with
15,000# tension on the backstay.... it was 4 thousands of an inch....
