The boat is built using foam sandwich using Gurit 10mm foam. We
have always used Klegecell in the past but this is what was available from our
supplier and it worked well.
The panels are made by joining the foam sheets together the full
length of the boat and then covering with glass. Peel ply over the glass makes
a good surface to loft the panels.
All the dimensions were supplied on the plans.
I used panel pins on the points between the stations and a thin piece of
plywood or a sail batten bent around the nails to draw the lines. All the hull
panels are the same as on the original Scarab except the bilge panels on the
main hull and floats, these panels were strip planked. The panels were all cut using a jig saw.
