BG Plug Construction for IOM M RG65 and other Radio Yacht classes

Great video! Could you make a female mold please? Or the next step of this video

[@bgsailsanddesign]

Richard Benady Thank you Richard. The plug, as described, is for hulls to be made on it as a male plug. Our production designs derived from this method and prototypes produced by it, are made from cnc cut plugs with female moulds taken from them. This build method is for a limited number of hulls, suitable for home or small run club builders. There will be a video on making a glass IOM or carbon M hull from these plugs when time permits.

Very informative video Brad, well done and thanks

Dear Brad, thank you very much for this comprehensive and unique video!!!! I would like to know if you use the finished plug to make a boat clone, or if you use the finished plug to make a mold and then take out of the mold a final hull???

Vangelis Simonidis Hull shells were taken from this plug, making it suitable for a small run of hulls more suited to home build. If you were looking to manufacture for production, the epense of a CNC plug splite vertically for half moulds can be justified, as we have done with the production BP.Thanks for your comments

bgsailsanddesign Thank you for your prompt answer to my question. I am not interesting for mass production of hulls. I am not a professional. I only worry about the exterior finish and quality of the hull shell. I am afraid that it will be rough and it will need further trimming with the fear of adding undesirable extra weight on it.

Hull is finished with fine peel ply and then painted. Hull is super stiff and weight is light. Next video will be on hull build.
