Perhaps supply ready made box molds or ready organized kit of infusing including all sundry items.
To be a bit honest, i wouldn't mind a more indepth explanation of the steps involved. This will vary with each designer i guess. Reference books can add to uuour info source.
It is expected that a builder will have gotten enough info from sources like tgd internet already.
But on the other hand hp designs have probably less to learn to be abldd to do them.
I would like to be treated as a bit of an idiot by the designer, so tghat at least i would not miss some of the important things in th e build.
It would depend on what your background was.
Although i have done years now of building with epoxy, glass and so kn i have never infused or vacuumed anything. It was a level of extra effort that was not botherddd with.
That the whole new hp line is based on that it means new learning curves.
It means more detail to organizing and preparing and getting bertterf qualitg materials.
More of a labratory setting to build in that a dusty old boat building shed..
You need to go and enjoy getting dirtg somewhere else.
A question for Rob or anyone:
The molds for a hull, say lw hull , is done full length (10, 12 or 15m for lw hull) or done with two molds of half length and joined after ckming out of molds?
Saves a lot of space.
But you would need 2 molds made, mirror jmage, and they woukd need to be close copies as must meet at joins.
Seems like one mold piece if space available would be much simpler.
