There is another possibility. C&C purchased one of the early SCRIMP infusion licenses in the late 1980s. Early infusion, especially in the learning process, was often done with clear gelcoat to visually confirm complete saturation of the hull after it was removed from the mould. This could be an early infused hull, which was then awlgripped. Gert Tiel or Rob Turner might know for sure, but it is a distinct possibility. If so, count yourself lucky. Infusion produces an excellent laminate.
A long shot, but a possibility that would explain the absence of gelcoat.

I can't imagine skipping the gelcoat and going straight to glassing. My guess is that it was stripped during later "improvements". - Paul E. 1979 C&C 29 Mk1 S/V Johanna Rose Carrabelle, FL _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
