Her Name is Jezebel: Building a Strip Planked Carbon Fiber Composite Boat in the Backyard, part two.

This is the timelapse of the primary exterior hull wet lay-up and vacuum process. Fiber schedule was meant to be 4oz directional E-glass laid transversal, then 6oz S-glass, then 6oz carbon fiber twill, all of it done under vacuum. This wasn't itself too ambitious but my initial execution--in the light of knowledge since gained--was crazy ambitious.
Also in this video is the construction of her outwales--mostly all white oak, but to save weight some portions are western red cedar/white oak composite.

Craftsmanship! Killing it, broski.

Dope to see this timelapse!

[@LyndonKurtDemeray]

Whats the name of that black cloth sir you got ang awesome work

[@SoCalSpearIt]

The black cloth you see going on the boat is the actual carbon fiber. Most of what you see in this video is 5.6 oz twill weave from Fiberglass Supply.

@@SoCalSpearIt i though thzt cloth is for cars and motorcycle only modifird plactic accesories thnaks bro

[@SoCalSpearIt]

@@LyndonKurtDemeray Fake carbon fiber is used on many cars and motorcycle plastic parts because consumers think it looks cool, since real carbon fiber is very expensive, requires professional workmanship, and is used in aerospace and high end racing applications where strength to weight ration is worth the overhead. For this boat, it was used on the hull to encapsulate and stiffen the wood and for that application saves only a small amount of weight. It's not shown these timelapses yet but I used it extensively on certain interior/secondary parts like the helm, cowling, hatch covers, radar tower, etc which I wanted to be very low profile and very light and strong. There it allowed me to save quite a bit of weight and still achieve design characteristics I wanted.

Why is it so narrow?

[@SoCalSpearIt]

@@johnwildwest1 it's a semi-displacement hull design instead of--for boats this size--a more common planing hull. So it'll ride smoother in rough water, be better in a following sea (common for socal), not exhibit stern squat at a low speed which helps the pilot see over the bow for divers/swimmers, and it'll be fast. Downside is it's not a dry ride and you have to understand how to pilot it in a heavy beam sea but it's for people in wetsuits.
