Colin Farlam is well known as the historian for the RCYC here in Cape Town,he is also known for his success in promotion as 'Colin Farlam Yachts', he makes and sells complete boats and also kits he can send by post. The GRP hull he is holding weighs just 3kgs,even when he has fitted bulkheads and decks using our epoxies and plys, the boat will weigh little more.
The boats design is a Sparkman and Stevens, each hull or kit Colin sells carries a certificate and a hull number prooving the design and royalty fee as paid the the designers, contact me at kits at comlumber.com for more information.
The roll of wood on wood mahogany veneer will be laminated to make a super thin modeling ply, it will be around 2mm when bonded,this makes a light ply suitable to deck the GRP one design model with, its waterproof.
