A theoretical question, so I don't want to bother anyone for explicit
details but.... I have a Hobie 18 ... the daggerboards are a mess ... for the life of me I can't think how you would go about building new ones. I thought about using foam core. Would I shape that (like a surfboard) and glass 'em? If I used all glass how would I make a mold? Take it off the exisitng one? Or is there another way? (I keep thinking a plaster mold or some such because of how thin - relatively - they are. But then I'd have to mate halves, and that's not a good idea, right)? Is there some way to vacuum bag them? Never did that, but ... I still can't envision how I get the shape and form ... any thoughts, general direction, or KISS alternatives , et al, would be IMMENSELY appreciated ... Gary Joyce |
