In Response To: Re: S&G: Spreading the Hull (Grant)

: Same question I posed to Don Lucas: Did the spreaders eventually reshape the
: hull to the required width? That is, when you remove the spreaders did the
: hull shape stay stable? How long did you have the spreaders installed? Was
: the glass and epoxy fully cured?

: Thanks in advance, grant
The G17 we used alot at the start,10 or so, when we glassed the seam there where just 3.Keep adjusting till you're happy,our wired seams our not perfect so we did not go crazy on the hull dek seam but you can get it very good. When do a slide over the rock in the wave you will not see that wave:)
