CLC Peapod build

   The boat is upside down and I'm ready to glass the bottom. Does the 3" strip go all the way to the tip of the bow and stern or does it stop at the 4/5 strake like the cloth?

   I called CLC this morning. I'm told the 3" goes all the way to the tip of the bow and stern. So...there you go. Warmer weather here in NC today. Epoxy time.

Cheers

 I had the same negative rocker in bow and stern.  A couple of applications of microballoons got her fair.

 Thanks Bret, 

Well there we have another one.

I'd like John Harris to take a look at this problem. I'm seeing creative ways to deal with the gap but I believe this is a design flaw or maybe the limit of design for a stitch and glue boat today. Clearly the stern is a bunch of complex curves all stuffed into a small area. I'm no boat designer but it seems like there is too much or too little material.

Regards all
