Is your hull too thin or too thick? What determines the right hull thickness?
In this episode, Herby will explain the way to calculate your minimum hull thickness so that you can compare that to the actual values of your own boat. This will let you know if you are too thin, too thick, or just right!
Herby also discusses the difference between solid fiberglass and cored hulls, and how that plays a role in hull strength as well as weight.
