Right its done and handed in! Thanks for your help was really useful My Europe is currently sat on my drive as I don't have a club at the moment but when I find summer work it will come with me. Down in Plymouth I sailed it out from Mount Batten and then at home I sail it on my local pond, Emberton Park. Claire |

Haha I would do that if I weren't being taken back down to Plymouth tonight by ma Dad! I'm 'studying' Applied Marine Sports Science, which is ace. I think tonight is going to be quite a late night, but I have a 4/5 hour journey in a car so thank god for laptops. This is all great thankyou so much. What course are you doing olly_love? Claire |

If it helps any, the Wineglass was also designed in 1958/9 specifically for GRP construction, but I guess the 505's may have been fibreglass by then too. I have a 1943 book about dinghy design written by an I14 sailor (so leading edge) which doesn't mention GRP at all, so my guess is sometime between 1944 and 1958.

In Britain at least, the Kestrel, in the late 1950's, was one of the 1st sucessful boats designed for building in GRP, but I'm sure many boats had been adapted before that. Many early glass boats had flaws due to a lack of knowledge of the building materials, and were both weak and heavy. Finding info on these would require much research, so therefore I don't suppose it will happen... If I dare mention Dinghy Sailing Mag here, they are running a series of articles on lost classes which may well cross over into this territory. Just dug out my 1958 dinghy year book, and there is an article in it about plastic construction of dinghies by John Westall (505 designer). He is explaining the concept, which suggests that pre 1957, it was rare indeed, and he discusses foam sandwich as a theoretical concept. |

Here's a refence to a very early fibreglass boat builder in the UK.
http://www.woodenboatassociation.com/TOD%20Boats.htm The next thing you need the look at is when cored construction came in as opposed to solid. I believe that was in the US in the late 60s but don't know. On the skiff side there's a paragraph on the bottom of this page on early cored boats in NZ/AUS http://www.sailingsource.com/cherub/des60.htm And there's an article on one of the very first cored homebuilt boats in the UK http://www.sailingsource.com/cherub/dsteele.htm But I've heard that Hobie Cats or something of the like were factory mass producing cored catamarans long before that date. I seem to remember that one of the early long distance catamarans was foam core too. |
