I'm but an accountant not an engineer. Help me understand this stuff.. So if I use a 1990 34+ as the baseline, the hull was a composite of vinyl resin, presumably glass matt and chopped strand, balsa core and Kevlar.
Now fast forward to 2000 and my early 121. The glass Matt has been replaced by E glass, balsa has been replaced by core cell, glass strand remains to add bulk and the Kevlar remains. Presumably this provides a lighter hull as the e glass is stronger than matt, core cell is lighter than balsa and requires less resin and the Kevlar remains the same. Fast forward another 10 years and we have epoxy, reinforced with carbon which does the job of Kevlar, matt, e glass and strand. The core cell remains. Am I even close?
