: A very long time ago (like, 35 years) I am sure I saw a design for a
: high-performance outboard motor boat that was constructed by stretching
: glass cloth over a frame, and putting resin on it. I don't remember the
: details, but I am sure it was not a plug-and-mold job. I have wondered, on
: long dark evenings, about doing what you suggest, with fibreglass. It will
: be interesting to see what anyone else has to offer.

George Putz mentions in his book about a "Walrus" that was covered with fiberglass and resin. The resulting skin was very clear and the paddler was easily seen.
