Default Hard Bimini Construction? Foam & Resin Construction?

Good advise Lew, thanks. Have you worked with this foam before? Trying to
figure out how it is to work with and the general methodology of working
with it (& maybe some of the pitfalls).

Building a male mold for a bimini is very straight forward.

A basic 4x8 sheet of 3ply, 1/2" plywood is about 42 lbs.

Divinycell foam is about 6 lbs/ft3.

Trying to fabricate a bimini using plywood will end up being a top
heavy slug and totally change the sailing characterstics.

You simply don't want to go there.
