: Hello All,

: Recently, I took a router to carve a 45 degree bevel on the coaming of my BBK
: Idun. It definitely makes it more rolling friendly... I am thinking of
: going a step further: recessing the cockpit... has anyone tried that out?
: I am thinking of making a mold and using carbon fiber and epoxy... Could
: also do vectorial forms to make it as a strip built unit...
: Thanks

Shouldn't be any different than doing the same thing on a stripper. Lots of guides around for doing that. Fairly involved though.

Would be cool done in CF, lots of work making the mold though.
