In Response To: Announce: Hybrid Night Heron: New Build *PIC* (Dan Caouette (CSFW))

I've been checking the photos out with great interest since I paddled a S&G NH in August.

Is the carbon fiber serving a function besides the cosmetic one?

: For those that are interested, I've just started to build a really
: interesting Hybrid Night Heron. I'll be posting regular updates
: on the build (hopefully weekly) so people can follow along.
: Hopefully my posts can help some home builders. I posted just
: posted the first entry on my website.

: It was commissioned over the summer with a completion date around
: Thanksgiving. To make it even lower in volume I'll be lowering
: and reshaping the deck. It was modified so much it now resembles
: a Petrel. It's going to have a LOT of carbon fiber. The sides of
: the okoume plywood hull will be covered in CF while the bottom
: gets a tough black graphite coating. The deck will be stripped
: in Sapele. All of the deck and cockpit hardware will be carbon
: fiber as well and coated with an automotive clear coat. It
: should be stunning.
