Too much wasted weight. There was a period before foam sandwich and high performance fibres when there was a place for the things, especially on offshore racers, but those days were long gone when they used then on the Topper boats...
No point: given a well engineered boat without rules compromising the interior layout there is high performance structure everywhere those separate space frames went. Edited by JimC |

point taken Jim, but perhaps in a boat you would like to sit "in" rather than "on"...?

Doesn't make any difference... That was just the handiest picture. |

If I'm reading that photo right, just lower that double floor and we have just the boat we were discussing above - hardly any buoyancy in the sidedecks and all in the floor. Marvellous! |
