> Hi Ian

the red boat in the background is a C-2 Marathon racer the boat is 5 years old and we practice 2-3 times a week and race 1-2 times every year. Meranti and spruce plywood takes polyester very good. I think it is more importent to chose the right fabrics.

so for a low cost project polyester is not a bad choise

I think Paul G Jacobson did some very god writing regarding polyester some month ago I have the same experience as he
