tiki 38 hull thickness

by gb

Oct 12, 2019

Hi, the study plan for Tiki 38 specifies plywood thickness of 9mm for the hulls. Is this (+cloth+epoxy) the final hull thickness?  Or is one supposed to glue two layers of plywood? If not, is this enough for a relevant puncture resistance?

Regards.

    Yes that was my intention, but the question is  how many layers are there in a hull. I would expect that at least below the WL there are more than 1.

    stringers+9mm ply+fiber glass coating...this is what gives the final good resistance
