: Bill,

: Might i ask where you get your Dacron at 4$ a yard ?

: Do you cover the hull as well as the deck ? I imagine it might be
: ok to not glass the deck, only do the hull.

I get my Dacron from Aircraft Spruce. It's uncertified aircraft dacron: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cmpages/dacronfabric.php

If you just go to Aircraft Spruce's site, it's much easier to just type in "dacron" in the search box.

I normally glass the hull and deck, but you can make the boat lighter just glassing the hull.
