So just to go down this rabbit hole.
What would the layup schedule be if you were going to glass in a half of a 3" pipe? The pipe is just for form right, not expecting any structural input from it.
I would assume that the glass would need to be uni-directional(running the long way) for a large majority of the laminate, is that correct?
Also, would I need to support the hull differently, right now it sits on the trailer and it has two keel rollers? It is a bunk trailer.
I have been comfortable with everything else I have done, but Strick's hull splitting story, has me feeling like I need to consult a navel architect on this one!
I can't imagine, at this point, making a keel stringer that is stronger than what they made in '75. The one in there now seems solid. However, I guess I will never know about its integrity until I cut it out. I have drilled 8 holes along it, just thru the glass, and have not found any discolored wood, but that is less than .1% of the area, so really proves nothing.
All that said, other than the no wood argument, why cant I just use whats there as the mold. Get it down to good clean glass and add a few layers?
There is no obvious "black" tabbing, even in the one place that there was an overlap that was not completely rolled down, but its on the top of the keel stringer, so less likely to sit in water.
