WOW erasmus... wOW, woW, wow... incredible build and a brilliant write up.
I for one appreciate the added effort you made in presenting this creation for others to drool over.

As others have said, the craftsmanship is totally overboard... much like my family/friends rendering me during our nautical adventures.
As I have said in other posts, I'll never take on such a task, however, your detailed explanation have given me many clues/ideas/ for other projects.

While reading through the details, I was continually perplexed on how you were going to remove the forms... then the penny dropped and realised that there were two halves... which then had me "rivetted" fiberglassed to the conjoining.

While I have dabbled with the use of magnets, your application has given me a greater appreciation of their inclusion in diversified future projects.

PS. To think... it took me 17 years to build my pissant 1.017m boat... and it was only a model.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
