Hello all,
I've been working alot with fibreglass lately and this idea popped into my
head:

Say you want to plank a hull with ply sheets, traditionally, you would cut
out the strakes and fit them onto stringers. Instead of using ply, I'm
thinking that I could use pre-made fibreglass sheets instead of ply. Here's
the kicker; Instead of just laying up large sheets of FRP, I suspect that
one could get better results from the following method ;

Spray gel coat onto large flat surface.

Snip

The method was suggested in this group ,guess back 98 with the
Cyber-Boat concepts , you can find the remains of Cyber-Boat and a
number of free downloads at ;

Many other innovative boatbuilding idears was interduced among the
software Cyber-Boat refined into tools that acturly worked with
boatbuilding beside several new concepts ------ but the tone and
attitude of this newsgroup was that offensive and hatefull towards the
Cyber-Boat concept that even as idears as full-scale plans, Honycomb
framework assembly, unfolding of 3D model panels , building a scale
model to prove the design, aso. aso. was all met by a hatefull group
that sworn trust to another but american small boat fiddeler,

Cyber-Boat that alway's sttod for innovative thinking and true
craftmanship with no lazy solutions ,beside safe designs tested and
designed with safety in mind as well as easy building, fell wictim for
the promotion of 70 year old plywood boxes and no progress, guess all
those jokers had their fun ruining the oppotunity for somone to make
his bread doing what he was good at.

P.C.

I remember that thread, which I read but didn't participate in. My
memory is that people asked you if you had ever built a boat, and if
so could you put a picture of it on your web site. Hardly a hateful
request to my mind, although you seemed to take it that way.

Perhaps a language problem?

In any case, it is hard to see how one usenet group could ruin your
opportunity to build boats.
