The following listing is an estimate of the fiberglass materials required to build the basic hull only. The material listing is intended to serve as a general guide only and should not be used to purchase materials until the various options and alternatives have been checked to the plans, to the work, and to the materials which may be available in the area in which the hull will be built. The listing is ony an estimate and may vary with the amount of waste encountered in the work, the sizes and types of material available, and other variables that cannot be controlled. Figures for materials listed include an overage factor or allow for fitting and trimming to size, but it is probable that additional materials may be required due to waste, defects, how the materials are utilized, etc. In all cases, check the plans and instructions for options.
