Reply With QuoteThanks for that info...every little bit helps. I've seen that companies like HTM are using composite stringers. Just don't know what kind...guess I should just write them.
Thanks man.
Hey guys...new stringers going in a lightweight layup Southwind. No problem with the project itself, but have a question. Got some perfect clear pine here for the project. What types of wood do you guys recommend or use. Second...a yacht builder said he donate CORE-CELL material he uses for stringers in his yachts. Super light weight, super rigid once glassed in. Never heard of performance boats using it. All the local yacht companys use it, it expensive, I know that! It's free, will it work?

Where's an outlet for that stuff? Anyone know? I hate to think I'd put foreign in my boat!!! LOL
Need to find a local hardwood supplier.
If you could get balsa wood that would be fine too. Marine wood is not at all necessary. Very heavy and high priced. Treated not needed either. Once its glasses in correctly it can never rot for it is sealed.
PM Forggystyle here on the boards.
I know he uses the corecell material.

Thanks bro...
I know Rapid Craft used a composite called Klegacell. That material was tough as nails and extremely light. Best of luck. HD
