I would like some advice on building a 14ft Javelin Sailing skiff.
I have looked on your web site and would like to ask the question on using Soric as a core material and your infusion system. I would like to build a new boat using your product but would like to know if this system is lighter than using standard high density foam.
I have asked llocal builder why they don’t use a infusion system and they tell me this is due to weight. Looking at the information on your site this may not be the case.
My current Javelin in a pre preg Carbon fibre boat and the construction of this is prefect how ever this needs to be done by a professional yacht builder due to the requirement of needing a oven large enough to put the boat in.
The current boat is very stiff the only other real issue I see with this building method is the boat can not take any impact. Currently all the boats are build using a high density foam these boats are racing boats and from time to time on the start line you will rub up against another boat all part of racing for this reason I am looking for another method of building a boat.
Could you give me some feedback on using Soric as a core material and using a infusion system to build a light weight strong boat.
We are currently looking at building the mould and I need to understand the lay up and the core material to proceed with this project. I have 20 weeks to complete this during the of season or Australian Perth winter I have sent a number of emails but no reply at this stage.
Any feedback from Easy Composites and members on the site would be welcomed
Best Regards
Rob
