Re: [bolger] Micro triangular chines?
Glen:
This is sort of "belt and braces" approach. IMHO if you are going to glass
the inside of the chine, just leave out what PCB calls the most rot-prone
area of the boat; namely the chine log. Instead stitch and tape the joint
for a better look, and less weight.

In the plans, Bolger has given the expanded shape of the sides
only. As you know, after the chines are fitted the bottom is to be
installed (with overlap) and then trimmed to size.
Are your drafting skills up to expanding the shape of the bottom?
This would be necessary in stitch and glue.

My origional proposal, and the one I'm still considering, was to essentially
build Micro stitch and glue, with no framing lumber on the bulkheads, nice
smooth, wide fillets on all side/bottom/bulkhead joints, along with fiberglass
reinforcements in all those locations, like the way Sam Devlin builds boats.
I'm still very seriously considering doing it this way...
The triangular chine log was kind of a compromise....

If your going to glass it inside anyway, why not just do a stich-n-glue for
the chine?
Nothing wrong with doing it that way... I would think that if you had a nice
sized, say 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 triangular chine log, glassing the inside would be
overkill...

Was the salesman clueless? Productopia has the answers.
