: I did a Tred Avon as below - added a few deck beams and stripped the deck.
: The only mistake I made was not glassing the inside of the deck, and
: sticking it back on the forms to go off. I ended up having to glass it
: inside as best I could after it was on the boat.

: The radius was small enough to get away with 1-1/2" wide strips, which
: was very easy to do. Fir came out a little heavy, use cedar, redwood,
: spruce, anything lighter than fir :)

Thanks for the info will do the decks with strips and try to glass the under deck a easy way.....
