In Response To: Re: S&G: Lightweight layup (LeeG)

: Robert, I built a Penguino last summer and unlike you don't mind
: overbuilding for structural and cosmetic reasons. Even with 6oz
: inside and out it'll be a fairly light kayak simply because it's
: 13' and not 17'. If you wanted to take a few oz. off I'd do it
: on the deck with 4oz on the deck and 3.25oz fineweave
: underneath. Or redo the cockpit with a forward coaming recess
: and eliminate the doubled 4mm pieces forward of the coaming.

: The reason why I would not use 4oz on the hull is that it's wide
: and that puts more stress on the bilge panels than a narrow
: kayak.

Lee, I'd be interested in corresponding with you outside of the forum if you wouldn't mind, for your impressions of the boat, other building suggestions, etc. Thanks,

Robert
