Hi, this is my first post on this brilliant site! Basically I am looking to build a carbon fibre boat hull which is between 30 and 40 cm in length. I want the boat to be fast, reliable and stable - ie i dont want to be fishing it out of the middle of the bond with a big stick because it has turned over! I have previous experience in making boats, including a 60cm wooden catamaran, a 35cm vacuum formed HIPs mono and a modified NQD tear into - all with moderate success.
I also have a little experience in composites, however I do not have the knowhow to make a boat hull and I am very unsure of how you would go about this (ie mould making/joins/canopy etc)
I am very unsure of what type of hull to make too, I know the mono's are considered easier to setup, but I tried a surface drive with my mono hull and it didn't perform very stably at all.
I was hoping to pick you guys brains on my issues here!
Here are some links to my previous projects - enjoy!
