Anyone else have the same set up as me ? just interested to see how its been delt with.
What are the rules with regards to this area - can I use pretty much any material I want here ?
I have a pleasingly full box of carbon cloth, pots of west epoxy and various paints and some new haliards and lines Im looking forward to making a start :)

The restrictions on carbon and exotics are just in the hull shell, not in decks, spaceframe or internal mouldings (see class rules for definitions). Scantily Clad was built as a showpiece for a similar technique by Steve Neal. See pics on the website. Steve has moved to Cornwall somewhere but someone will have contact details
