THe hull is more than just topsides and bottoms, and the transom is part of the hull also, last time I looked. Encapsulation and strength of core material is the key but I agree that the bottom and hull sides should ideally be uncored. If you do that however, you have to stiffen them up in some other way, and increasing the thickness of the glass laminate is an inefficient way to do it. The traditional way is to add internal structure, typically encapsulated wood, another form of composite construction. That's an area of agreement, previously acknowledged. |
