Maybe a boat was pulled that was not quite cured, resins, hardeners and temperatures as well as humidity adds up to quite a few variables and the uncured boat ends up with a hook. Large boat manufacturers make mistakes building hulls, anyone can, a deformed boat does not necessarily mean a bad mold or builder... not a comment pro or con on this thread, just a comment.
Echoing Fast Fred's comments really. Did I say COMMENT enough times?

My hope would be that leeway is making his boats with out the hook as he is now saying but unfortunately the angle of the photo,s he has given will not show this So is this more Rubbish that we ribsters are given.Please dont misinterprit any motive i have I have never met spoken or had any dealings with leeway the only thing a person gets fed up with is being DONE.This thread i know to some is boring but their are Princibles here and this Forum is here for our information .The name and shame thread Thats started should be used with caution as a reputation can be shattered .so sort the quality out Leeway and get people off your back or pack up

what do you do for a living??

Excellent response. So, if the customer wants to replace his boat, because it is well hooked on the port side and not the starboard, you will agree to replace the boat? I assume that this means you will put new tubes on a new hull and re rig his Opti, Etc. If for arguments sake he was worried that the time you take to do this would impact his boating season, I presume you wouldn’t have an issue with doing it at the end of the season to minimise his loss?

not sayin that is the case hear, but just cuz the mold is nice don't mean thats how the hulls guna be, it is however a better bet than a crapy mold.

just to let you know the only thing that could course a bent boat (wich this boat is not) from factory is pulling early.........

due to the fact it takes 2 weeks to make the hull before release from mould i could never have that problem.

i have tested the boat in question and im happy to say it meets all the standards and is not "hooked" as you call it.

So this hull pictured here... is it still in the mould and is it complete with stringers, frames Etc?

What standards are those? What difference do you accept between port and starboard running surfaces?

…and we need more enterprising boat builders based in this country. So why not contact the producers of the hull that your boat (s) originate from, offer to pay them a nominal royalty, which on the scale of boat prices isn’t that much, then push that as a “plus” side? The hulls are well known for their performance and that wouldn’t hurt, would it?
If, by some small chance, you have designed a hull your self and I’m sorry, but I can’t envisage that from your responses, then shout it from the roof tops.. show your work off. Show the design stage, the plug/buck and explain the design. I, for one, would applaud you as that sort of endeavour is well beyond my capability.

have you asked all the other rib builders in this country if they can pay for the origin of there plaining hull design?? i have evidence my hull is unique and is my design, I can produce evidence if i really need to and will in a court of law if need be. is that a decision for you? I think not so do us all a favor and keep your bad advise to yourself.

Why would I need to do that ? I don’t see other builders on here making high claims? Don’t be so childish and make threats of Court/Solicitors and the like. I’ve been in more Courtrooms on more occasions than you’ve had hot dinners…..

People "like me" ? Oh, no Lee... I think you'll find I'm unique....

..but I think you "paid to join" this forum to sell your wares and not some altruistic motive.

Anyways… since other folks must be bored witless with this thread…and I need to go and make the tea.. I’ll concede that you will never see where the likes of FGT and I are coming from so please feel free to have the last word…

Any chance of a peep at this hand-built plug? Did you make one plug for all the different sizes you make/are planning to make?

no sorry.......need to keep the advitising going...

we have had a plug made for the 6.3 and a differant plug made for the 7.3 and 8.3. so we have had two plugs made so fare. we have a differant plug being made for the 9.3 and talks for a bigger plug that might happen.
