There are certainly a lot of KRs that get through the wood stage and sit for ten years or get sold before the first piece of foam or glass is done. My guess is that builders have not done any composite work before and just don't try it because they are not sure how. This is a real shame because gluing on a few blocks of foam, sanding, any laying on the glass is one of the easier things to do, can be done fairly well by someone their first shot, is very hard to screw up too bad, and it can be taken off and redone if someone should happen to really screw it up bad. Compared to most other building methods it is pretty damn easy.
Brian Kraut Engineering Alternatives, Inc. www.engalt.com -- Also, it is obvious (to me anyhow) that the real reason more KR's are not finished is the fibreglass or composite side of construction. There are lot's of boats out there that never get any farther because a lot of people (builders) get stuck on how to proceed because there is no one tried and proven way to proceed with the composite side of construction, and having no "set of instructions", they fall by the wayside. Well, as I said, that's just my observation. Some people are just not as talented in some areas as other's are but we all have special talents in some area.
