Default vacuum-bagging an E-glass/polyester resin hull with a bi-axial S-glass epoxy laminate........

I'll try.

I have a 40' boat whose solid fiberglass construction was with
E-glass/polyester resin.

I am seeking information regarding the possibility of 'strengthening'
the hull by laminating it with an S-glass triaxial 'mat' and epoxy resin
using vacuum bagging to apply.

May I ask why you are considering epoxy and vacuum bagging so strongly ?

How old is the boat and what makes you believe that it needs more strength
in the hull?

There are other alternatives to this particular combination but I am
interested in what lead you to it initially.
