 Hull glassing


the hull has been glassed. The bow panels where there were relieving cuts to enable nice bends were filled with west filler and then they were glassed over with one layer of glass, another layer was then put on the panel , so there is a double layer over the relief cut area - 




I decided after much consideration to run my hull glass as a horizontal layup rather than using lots of vertical pieces with lots of overlaps. this worked really well with my 80cm wide glass cloth, as each panel is narrower than 80cm
