Hi Rob,

Thanks for the update pics.
It looked like a thick piece of plywood in the first pic, but obviously light brown coloured foam.
Pretty thick at 15mm?
How was the glassing done - one side under pressure then bend while other side is wet?

This was the major attraction to going flat panel for me. No worries bending to shape.
I know the straps can pinch in to make undulations - you obviously used some aluminiukm beams to try and spread the load at the edges.
I think you had a solide glass bilge on the Sol.

Laminate looks good apart from a couple of bag creases on the table side. However, we lost any time savings by spending all morning wedging them apart to break the peel ply join. What a struggle! Perforated plastic next time.
