If you used vacuum compression, you seem to have a vacuum pump. If it is an oiled rotary vane pump, it should be able to achieve enough vacuum for resin infusion. Such a thin shell could get tiny holes, when using hand laminating techniques. Basically any small air bubbles could have an opening to the inside, after the peel ply is removed. By using resin infusion, you should get away without trapped air bubbles, and therefore you should get a leak free hull. I wonder about your layup. With only 0,5 mm, any contact with rock's will get though your hull, with or without aramid. The aramid might stop tge damage growth, but the boat will sink anyway. You should get away much cheaper and faster, by using only 2x200g carbon.
