Birth of a Race Boat

Seems like deck wouldn't fit well after cutting a foot off of the hullsides? Hull would be wider than the deck. I'm sure you've done it many times though! Awesome Thread!!!
 
the deck will be wider than hull, then deck will be trimed..... my question, when chopping down a boat, especially carbon, is it cut to match the deck contour or is the nose drooped down then glassed in.? I am wondering because once laid up, though it has some flex, if it were drooped wouldn't that prestress the laminate?

The deck will be trimmed to match the hullsides. The hull and deck are then bonded together without a rubrail.
 
all your questions are answered in the thread already.
Once again Sean you never seem to amaze me with your comments and like i said before i was a little late to this thread and just trying to get up to speed . Thanks Sean for your wealth of info maybe i should just ask you what i want to know . Sean what post says what type of epoxy there using in the build of the boat or what type of radius is going to be used rounded or.................. seeing that there is not going to be a rub rail .:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: So Sean show me the way GREAT ONE and i shall follow or do i have to drink the KOOLAID first and that just might be a good idea . Hey
