I wish! Just trying to help out. Light fabric is a cheap and easy way of protecting your investment of time, money and sweat!VT_Jeff wrote: ↑Mon Dec 07, 2020 3:45 pmGotcha. You have me thinking about ordering some light fabric. Do you get a commission?gstanfield wrote: ↑Mon Dec 07, 2020 3:38 pm The last few boats I’ve done both sides of every panel, yes.

Re: FS 14 Build Malaysia
Thanks guys.
I think I will just glass 6" above the chines as called in the plans and cover the rest with a 4 oz woven cloth.
Can I then use the 6" edge to put a white boot stripe just like the FS12 boat-in-box tutorial picture on page 27.

Re: FS 14 Build Malaysia
Sounds like a plan Bernard!
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

Boat is now ready for fiber glassing.

Re: FS 14 Build Malaysia
Coming along great Bernard, reverse chine looks excellent!
I just got a shipment of 4 oz fabric from BBC. I'm taking your advice and am going to glass the entire sole and deck. Not going to do every surface top and bottom, already far too late for that, but going to so a fair but more than I originally planned.gstanfield wrote: ↑Mon Dec 07, 2020 3:38 pm The last few boats I’ve done both sides of every panel, yes.

Re: FS 14 Build Malaysia
Installed the Rub Rails today.
Glued 3 layers of 6mm Ply 2" wide
TIP: Changed the sheer line to a straight edge on the flat plans. The bow goes slightly higher when you bend around the frames.
But it is easier to rip straight lines of 2" width 6mm ply and it will fit nicely on the sheer.

Re: FS 14 Build Malaysia
Decided to glass the whole top side, instead of just 6" above the chines.
Seems a waste to cut off the cloth and nothing useful could be done with the narrow strips.
