Resin infusion is great , but they did regular wet layup for the outer skins of glass against the water. The double scored foam has been around for 35 years I was vacuum Bagging foam into hulls in 1991 and Jeremy Rodgers was producing similar hulls in the 80’s by RTM vac-assist an early cushion of the infusion process that requires more tooling but a lot less wasted plastic , hose , bagging films etc But this is a great build with NO WOOD IN STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS. Very glad to see all wood rots in fiberglass boats! Cheers Warren

I've owned hot rod boats almost all my adult life, and at 62 the changes I've seen in the tech that goes into hull construction are simply astounding. I don't think you could have picked a better time to do this, the infusion process and the tech in the glass and bonding agents have been sorted pretty well, and carbon...well carbon is changing the world. Love this stuff,,,the tech and the actual build, the "dirty hands part", as it were.Can't wait to see more.

This is unreal that you are able to capture this footage and make it available for us. The detail in here is much deeper than it might appear on the surface, as Im just learning more about boat construction and beginning some fiberglass builds myself, the difference between armature hour and a professional piece of glass is really incredible. Seeing the infusion process is really eye opening and Im eternally grateful the hull popped out of the mold without any damage (that seems to be the scariest part of the whole build). Theres less fiberglass matting than I would have thought there was, somehow I thought it would be at least 4+ layers of triaxial on both sides of the foam core but that looks pretty clean and Im sure its exceptionally strong with all the cad work. Somewhat sad that theres so much wasted material in the build process (vacuum bag/lines/plug/etc) but compared to the wasted materials that go into each home its really not that bad if its for a live aboard family.
@FlesHBoX3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, it's crazy just how thin you can get away with in the laminations due to the sandwich construction! I've been working on a cat design for a bit and while I have basically zero experience to design the layup, I've just defaulted to 4 layers on either side of the core as a "rough estimate for weight estimations" and suspect that in many areas it's massively overboard. Though of course, it would be insufficient in other areas, so I figure it should work out as a basic "this is roughly how much cloth/resin/core will be needed".

So far I've found: - Carbon fibers: Stronger, lighter, more expensive than fiberglass. - Vinylester resin: Stronger, more expensive than polyester resin. Cheaper than epoxy. - Foam core: More reliable than wood and lower water absorption. Divynycell foam core is one of the better ones. So overall, it looks like you are getting great quality basic materials in the new boat!

@2212db3 жыл бұрын
@@EdwardTilley I don't know if they re-use the hoses, but flushing them with acetone would clean them up. Several factors to take into account - the hose material and cost; will acetone degrade the hose? unlikely but something to consider, and is it cheaper to discard gallons of acetone/resin rather than replace the hose? Then you have many gallons of sticky acetone sitting around until the acetone evaporates off, this isn't a quick process and carries a huge fire risk. I suspect the hose is single use.
@EdwardTilley3 жыл бұрын
@@2212db I think you're right. A part of the cost of the construction, and seeing the strength you get from so much less material, I should think that hose cost amounts to a savings overall. That carbon fibre isn't cheap though. You are looking at around $300 for a sheet the size of a piece of plywood, unless I'm mistaken. I'd actually like to see how they make the keel superficial and replaceable- and even how they could build in a light weight double-hull. Gets a busy mind turning - as if this solution isn't already complex enough. This made me think that just a ply or two of carbon the length of the keel and an inch above it would keep out any reefing-damage seawater - and then if you wanted bulletproof as well, a single sheet of kevlar around a saferoom. Am definitely overthinking this, but now is the time.
