: That's cool, but I wonder why they use thickened epoxy to glue the

: weight and make fairing more difficult, although I see they used
: a belt sander to fair it.

I wondered the same thing when I watched the video. Also for a boat that big the curves would be gentle enough you wouldn't need strips that were beaded and coved. Especially if it'll be skinned with carbon fiber. I'll have to ask Pat if he knows what kind of wood they used.
