Steve, Hope all is well and everyone is healthy. Richard and Kati have been keeping me apprised to your progress on your latest. Best of luck with it! Do you have a launch date?
As I’m insulating my sailboat, I find that I need a flexible insulation in some areas. The semi-rigid just will not work well!
Richard said that you were using scuba wet suit material. Great idea! This would work well for me several locations against the hulls sharpest curves…behind the nav station, a few lockers, under vanity, etc. So, were can I purchase this material ??
Thank You and Good Luck, say hello to Linda. – Michael

Cold Molded as an option?
Do you feel that a Cold Molded boat can be built light enough and strong enough to meet your requirements? No insulation will be needed and in areas the hull can be left exposed for its inherent beauty. Brooklyn Boat Yard is building some beautiful examples of this.

Hi KC:
These boats have to be done in metal because of impact resistance and tankage requirements. Timber and fiberglass don’t meet the needs.
