In Response To: Other: Interior Glass Needed? (Paul J)

When Chesapeake Lightcraft was starting and selling the Cape Charles series, no glass was suggested on the inside other than the taping and a coat op epoxy over all bare wood. My brother still has one of them built about 9 years ago and we beat on it occassionally and it's fine. We did put glass on the bottom of the seating area for abrassion.

I'm building a Sea Spirit (S & G) this winter and - same thing - no interior glass other than the floor of the cockpit and the taping.
