And I have been working on VIP, (Vacuum Resin Process)here are a few shots of a test panel! it worked out well. The time was marked on the bag as the resin flowed from left to right !and it was kept under the vacuum until it gelled

The hull laminates are near complete, the transom. stringers and bilkheads then she is coming out! might have to throw a big peice of pork on the pit!

in getting ready to deliver a 23' we have been busy building small parts, as shown earlier in the post we infuse some and here I will show some vacuum bagging, again make a light strong part, using far less resin then hand layed glass!
This part carries the fuel fill and vent lines from the custom aluminum fuel tank across the in deck lockable rod storage hold , and outboard
it keeps the lines supported all the way and aids in replacment when the time comes
