"The hull must then be dried, to get the saturation of the laminate
below 50 percent, which can take considerable time, as reflected by
the following table:

Temperature 50% Relative Humidity 25% Relative Humidity
100 F l6 days 9 days
83 F 32 days 18 days
65 F 64 days 36 days
47 F 128 days 72 days"

I dont have the reference handy but the amount of water a hull can
absorb is quite significant, and yet not have any ill effects although
not universal. I guess some of the issue is where the boat is
seasonally hauled out and whether it is fresh or salt water...
