laying up the hull

How many layers of Chopped strand mat or woven roven does it take for a rib hull.?

Is it chopped strand mat or woven roven ?

I worked in a factory in Gosport many many years ago making lifeboats they were all sprayed on.. Roven went through a gun with the resin and was all mixed together as it left the gun.
and then rolled out.

Then I moved onto Southampton and was making Mine sweepers. All woven roven there.

In between that i worked for a number of small firms making all sorts of g.r.p. items.

I am thinking maybe in the summer trying to get a mould to use or a hull and deck not joined.

my 5.4 searider had 7mm sides 9mm keel and 11mm at the bow when it was tested so I could use it for charter. That includes the resin but I dont know what type of glass was used eg csm/wr/biax. It also depends on strenght of the stringers and bulkheads and core you are going to use.

I am not a boat builder, but have almost finished building a 7.5m rib,
I just read alot of boat building books and asked a few friendly boatbuilders questions. You will find there are many ways to build a RIB. The hard bit is which way is the best way, there is no answer to that. Everyone has there own way.Reading this forum and other forums you can gain ideas but no one simple answer.
The picture is of my rib that I am building. I built it without a female mould.The only wood in it is the transom everything else is fibreglass.
Have a look at this link. It may answer some questions. good luck.

nice job, over here they have ruined everything, if your'e building a boat for yourself thats ok, if you start doing them to sell thats when RCD comes in, ce plates, you're not allowed to sell a new boat without one, or so they say! i've had something recently where a guy imported a boat from usa without a ce plate and he's having trouble insuring it, these twat's bugger up all our fun

Isn't that a bit of a generalisation?

If I was to adopt a similar stance, would I presume you have no interest in safety of yourself or others, then?

mmm,you would think so! let me go a bit further, BMIF, i think it's still called that, when you join as a responsible boat builder, your membership fee is related to your turnover, and when you need there support it ain't there, and it isn't getting better.
safety where it's neccessary, common sense always

While I agree with you on that wholeheartedly there's unfortunately always an exception that justifies the rules in the eyes of the authorities.

Remember 'Big Yellow'?...

What a great time I had NOT !

Well I have now laid up the hull.
I was dreading it but it has not been to bad to do.

Sticky mess all over the floor 3 pairs of trousers 4 jumpers and countless pairs of laytex gloves.. 2 pairs of Shoes And a set of totally useless paper overalls.

Glass fiber strands everywhere I look And I guess some places I have not yet looked in.

I started with Chopped strand mat and then woven roven. set in alternate layers and finished with Chopped strand matt all 600 grm weight..

One of the pictures shows the bottom half of the hard nose /Deck

I think it is safe to say I will not be doing another one.But glad I did this one.

You can get combi mat which combines chopped and woven - saves a lot of time!

Is this the stuff? How many layers would you need to get the same effect of CSM WR CSM?

Er, have I missed something? what mould are you using, or shouldn't I ask?
Good luck with the project; not sure whether I envy you or not
