: Reg, what is Hypertex and where does it go?

Hi Lee,

I am not even sure if I have that spelling right. I will double check the facts on Monday with Sterling but I am fairly certain that it is unidirectional and it is placed in the main area of the hull between the bulkheads for stiffening and strength. The material does not take compound curves well but it lays into the hull nicely.Like I mentioned earlier, Sterling is the wizard on this stuff and I just trust his judgement call. Hope to have the new coaming in Monday or Tuesday and then get it closed up the next day. Launching will be late next week I am guessing.

Best,

Reg
