I’m thinking of using plain weave S glass on my wife’s Guillemot. Looking to make a tougher boat one that will resist the everyday dings better. What thoughts are out there on lay ups?
On the Deck I will use 4oz for sure.
On the Hull I could go with 6oz with more 6oz on the bottom and on the stems. (standard lay up)
Or 6oz with 4oz
Or 4oz with 4oz

Later,

Lennie
